The Wailin Jennys - Heaven When Were Home Chords

Capo 7


[Verse 1]
G           D/F#             C
Don't know what time it is, I've been up for way too long
     D       G              D/F#    C     D
and I'm too tired to sleep
G           D/F#             C
I call my mother on the phone, she wasn't home,
     D       G              D/F#    C     D
and now I'm wandering the street
Am                          D
I've been a fool, I've been cruel to myself
Am
I've been hanging onto nothing when
C                 D                  G
nothing could be worse than hanging on
             D/F#             C
And something tells me there must be
                 D        G     D/F#    C     D
something better than all this


[Verse 2]
G           D/F#             C
I've fallen many times in love and every time
     D       G              D/F#    C     D
it's been with the wrong man
G           D/F#             C
Still I'm out there living one day at a time
     D       G              D/F#    C
and doing the best I can
Am                                           D
Cause we've all made mistakes that seem to lead us astray
Am                                   C            D
But every time they helped to get us where we are today
              G                D/F
And that's a good a place as any
C                             D           G    D/F#  C
and it's probably where we're best off anyway


[Chorus]
D
It's a long and rugged road
C                           G
and we don't now where it's headed
        C                  G                  D
But we know it's going to get us where we're going
D
And when we find what we're looking for
C                           G
we'll drop these bags and search no more
        C                  G                  D
'Cause it's going to feel like heaven when we're home
C                       D                   G    D/F#  C   D
It's going to feel like heaven when we're home


[Verse 3]
G                        D/F
There's no such thing as perfect,
     C                         D          G     D/F#  C   D
and if there is we'll find it when we're good and dead
G                        D/F
Trust me I've been looking
     C                         D          G     D/F#  C   D
but tonight I think I'll go and take a bath instead
     Am
And then maybe I'll walk a while
     D
and feel the earth beneath me
     Am
They say if you stop looking
            D
it doesn't matter if you find it
    G                D/F#         C
And whose to say that even if I did
                      D         G    D/F#  C
it's what I'm really looking for


[Chorus]
D
It's a long and rugged road
C                           G
and we don't now where it's headed
        C                  G                  D
But we know it's going to get us where we're going
D
And when we find what we're looking for
C                           G
we'll drop these bags and search no more
        C                  G                  D
'Cause it's going to feel like heaven when we're home
C                       D                   G    D/F#  C   D
It's going to feel like heaven when we're home
