[Verse 1]
Gm            Cm
Ruin comes to beauty
F          Gm7 D7
Almost inevitably
Gm      Cm
And now this i see
Gm7           D
Right here at home

[Verse 2]
Gm    Cm
In the USA
F           Gm7 D7
Things get worse each day
Gm      Cm
Hope it's not too late
Gm7                   D
To pack my things and go

[Pre-Chorus]
Cm
Where I wanna be
Gm
Its not where you'd expect
Cm
They have a place for me
Gm7             D
Down on Rubina Vay (?)

[Chorus]
Gm       Cm
Is this real life
F            Gm7 D7
Or just the way I am
Gm              Cm
I long for the netherlands
Gm7           D
And I want to go
Back, back to Rotterdam

Gm  Cm  F  Gm7 D7

[Verse 3]
Gm                Cm
Never felt like a stranger
F             Gm7  D7
Never felt in danger
Gm           Cm
Ever since I came here
Gm7             D
I only felt at peace

[Verse 4]
Gm            Cm
Back home some have to fight
F        Gm7 D7
Yeah just to survive
Gm          Cm
Why do they have to die
Gm7               D
Instead of living free

[Pre-Chorus]
Cm
I know someday the world
Gm
Will come to an end
Cm
And im gonna watch it burn
Gm7                  D
From here in another land

[Chorus]
Gm       Cm
Is this real life
F               Gm7 D7
Or just the way I am
Gm              Cm
I long for the Netherlands
Gm7             D
There I want to go
Back, back to Rotterdam
