[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am C
From the day that I was born, I felt strangely out of place,
G Am
no relations to my parents, no relation to my name
Am C
I’ve always been a stranger in the life that I was living
G Am
and ever since I’ve heard that many feel the same.
C G
So here’s to all the ramblers who’re still looking for directions
Dm Am G
Put your arms around your lovers, those with which you roam
E7 Am Am/G F
Sometimes happiness is closer than some of you might think
C G Am
And somewhere down the road you’ll find your home.
[Verse 2]
Am C
I left one very early morning, grabbed my bags and my belongings,
G Am
my guitar and my ideas and headed straight up north
Am C
Felt like Christoph Columbus and the fact that I had satnav,
G Am
didn’t make much of a difference, I still strayed back and forth.
C G
I took the high road, took the low road, didn’t know where I was going
Dm Am G
So I traveled many countries, came through many different towns
E7 Am Am/G F
And many times I couldn’t sleep and didn’t know what I was doing
C G Am
Mostly tried in vain to disarray my doubts.
[Chorus]
F Am F G Am
If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
F Am F G Am
If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
G E7 N.C. Am
Just go where your heart tells you to go
[Verse 3]
Am C
I found home in many places, unexpectedly at times,
G Am
on the banks of English rivers and in deep, dark German woods
Am C
In the arms of many girls, whose names have slipped my mind,
G Am
in empty bars and motels that I had to leave for good.
C G
See a candle burn at midnight in a darkened window frame
Dm Am G
Stay up late and watch the sunrise by a clear blue mountain lake
E7 Am Am/G F
Meet a stranger in a pub and ask him for his name
C G Am
And listen to his story, just for conversations sake.
[Chorus]
F Am F G Am
If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
F Am F G Am
If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
G E7 N.C. Am
Just go where your heart tells you to go
[Bridge]
Am C
After all my travels, all the years I spent in search,
G Am
for a place to call my home, for a place where I belong
Am C
There is just this one and only truth that emerged,
G Am
if you love what you are doing, darling, you will find your home.
[Chorus]
F Am F G Am
If you don’t know what to do, just do what your heart tells you to do
F Am F G Am
And if you don’t know what to say, just say what your heart tells you to say.
F Am F G Am
If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
F Am F G Am
If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
G E7 N.C. Am
Just go where your heart tells you to go
