Lyrics

I’m star in’ out in to the night

try ing to hide the pain.

I’m go in’ to the place where love

and (Em7)feel in’ good don’t (D)ev er cost a thing

and the (Em7)pain you feel’s a dif f’rent kind of pain.

Well, I’m go in’ home,

back to the (Csus2)place where I be long

and where your (Em7)love has al ways been e nough for me.

I’m not run nin’ from,

no, I (Csus2)think you got me all (D5)wrong.

I (Em7)don’t re gret this life I chose for me.

But these (Em7)plac es and these (D5)fac es are get ting old,

so I’m go in’ home.

Well, I’m go in’ home.

The miles are get ting long er, it seems,

the clos er I get to you.

I’ve not al ways been the best man or friend for you but your love re mains true

and (D)I don’t know why.

You (Em7)al ways seem to give me an oth er try.

old.

Be care ful what you wish (C5)for ’cause you just might get it all.

You (D5)just might get it all

and then some you don’t want.

Be care ful what you wish (C5)for ’cause you just might get it all.

You (D5)just might get it all,

yeah.

Oh well, I’m go in’ home, back to the (Csus2)place where I be long and where your (Em7)love has al ways been e nough for me.

I’m not run nin’ from,

no, I (Csus2)think you got me all (D5)wrong.

I (Em7)don’t re gret this life I chose for me.

But these (Em7)plac es and these (D5)fac es are get ting old.

I said, these (Em7)plac es and these (D5)fac es are get ting old

so I’m go in’ home.

I’m go in’ home.

This page shows “Home” by Daughtry in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play.
