INTRO
G G
G                                                        G
The dimming of the light makes the picture clearer 
G
It's just an old photograph 
G                               D
There's nothing to hide 
                 C                                 G
when the world was just beginning 
I memorized a face so it's not forgotten 
I hear the wind whistlin' 
Come back anytime 
And we'll mix our lives together 

Chorus 1
                       C                                     G
Heaven knows- what keeps mankind alive 
                       C                                     G
Ev'ry hand- goes searching for its partner 
          D                       C                       G
In crime- under chairs and behind tables 
          D                      C                         G  
Connecting- to places we have known

Home- where the wheels are turning 
G
Home- why I keep returning 
D                              C                              G
Home- where my world is breaking in two 
G
Home- with the neighbors fighting 
G
Home- always so exciting 
D                          C                           G
Home- were my parents telling the truth?
C 
Home- such a funny feeling 
G
Home- no-one ever speaking 
C
Home- with our bodies touching 
G
Home- and the cam'ras watching 
D                   C                             G
Home- will infect what ever you do 
            D                       C                           G
We're Home- comes to life from outa the blue 

G                                                 G
Tiny little boats on a beach at sunset 
 G
I took a drink from a jar 
G                    D
& into my head 
       C                            G
familiar smells and flavors 
Vehicles are stuck on the plains of heaven 
I see their wheels spinning round 
& ev'rywhere 
I can hear those people saying 
Chorus 2
That the eye- is the measure of the man 
You can fly- from the stuff that still surrounds you 
We're home- and the band keeps marchin' on 
Connecting- to ev'ry living soul 
D                          C                        G
Compassion- for things I'll never know
G   G
