[Verse 1]
Am C
How can I hope to make you understand
F Bb E7 E7b13 E7
Why I do what I do
Am C
Why I must travel to a distant land
Dm E7 A
Far from the home I love

[Verse 2]
Amaj7 C#m7
Once I was happily content to be
Bm7 E7
As I was, where I was
Amaj7 C#m7
Close to the people who are close to me
Bm7 E7 A
Here in the home I love

[Bridge]
Bm7 E7 Amaj7 A6
Who could see that a man would come
Bm7 C#m7
Who would change the shape of my dreams
Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 Amaj7
Helpless, now, I stand with him
Bm7 C#m7 Dmaj7 E7
Watching older dreams grow dim

[Verse 3]
Am C
Oh, what a melancholy choice this is
F E7
Wanting home, wanting him
Am C
Closing my heart to every hope but his
Dm E7 A
Leaving the home I love

[Verse 4]
Amaj7 C#m7
There where my heart has settled long ago
Bm7 E7
I must go, I must go
Am C
Who could imagine I'd be wand'ring so
F6 E7 Am C7
Far from the home I love - Yet,
Dm E Am
There with my love, I'm home
