Eric Douglas - Leaving Home Again Chords

[Intro]
G       D/F#    Em      Em
C       D       G       G
 
[Verse 1]
       G              D/F#              Em
When I picture my hometown, it’s always raining
C             D                 G
No one on the streets or in the park
     G               D/F#         Em
It’s like my mind is trying to protect me
     C               D                 G
From letting ancient ghosts back in my heart
 
[Instrumental]
G       D/F#    Em      Em
C       D       G       G
 
[Verse]
     Em                  D/F#          G
That house still casts a shadow on the corner
    Em            D/F#               G
The attic windows shuttered from the years
    Em              D/F#            G
Our old oak tree surrendered to the weather
       C                D
But it doesn’t bring me tears
 
[Chorus 1]
  C
I stumble down these avenues
G     D/F#   Em             D
Every turn I take is a dead end
                    C
So I’m leaving home again
D             G
Leaving home again
 
[Instrumental]
G       D/F#    Em      Em
C       D       G       G
 
[Verse 2]
    G           D/F#              Em
The images come fast and go right through me
   C              D         G
It comes to me in sepia and rain
  G                  D/F#             Em
I watch it streaming past just like a movie
            C                 D                G
But there’s something lurking just outside the frame
 
[Verse]
  Em               D/F#                G
A stray dog by the playground standing guard
    Em       D/F#          G
The alley by firehouse downtown
    Em               D/F#            G
The wayward baseball in that widow’s yard
        C             D
I don’t think we ever found
 
[Chorus 2]
  C
I stumble down these avenues
G     D/F#   Em             D
Every turn I take is a dead end
                    C
So I’m leaving home again
D             G
Leaving home again
 
G       G
 
[Bridge]
          F
And I’m a thousand miles away
         C
But it’s just like a tattoo
        F
You can leave a place behind
           C                               D
But you’ll always know it stayed inside of you
 
[Instrumental]
G       D/F#    Em      Em
C       D       G       G
G       D/F#    Em      Em
C       D       G       G
 
[Verse 3]
       Em             D/F#              G
When I picture my hometown, it’s always raining
     Em               D/F#      G
So today’s as good as any to go back
Em                 D/F#         G
Two miles from the exit on that highway
      C                   D
But I think I’ll drive on past
 
[Chorus 3]
  C
I stumble down these avenues
G     D/F#   Em             D
Every turn I take is a dead end
                    C
So I’m leaving home again
D             C
Leaving home again
