Lyrics

It’s a (C)four let ter word,

a place you (G6)go to heal your hurt.

It’s an (Am7)al tar, it’s a shel ter, one (C7)place you’re al ways wel come.

A big fla (F)min go dou ble wide,

one bed room in a high rise,

a (Dm7)man sion on a hill,

where the (Gsus)mem ’ries al ways will keep you com pa ny when ev er you are a (Gsus)lone.

Af ter all of my (F)run ning,

I’m fi nal ly (Gsus)com ing

home.

The (C)world tried to break me; I (Gsus)found a road to take me home.

There ain’t (Gsus)noth ing but a blue sky (G)now.

Af ter (C)all of my (F)run ning,

I’m (Fmaj9)fi nal ly (Gsus)com ing

home.

Well, they (C)say it’s where the heart is; and I (G6)guess the hard est part is

(Am7)when your heart is bro ken and your (C7)love’s out in the great wide o pen.

(F)Look ing for a map,

(Ab)find ing your way back

to where you be long.

Oh, well (Gsus)that’s where I be long:

(Gsus)com ing

home,

home.

Home.

The (C)world tried to break me; I (Gsus)found a road to take me home.

There ain’t (Gsus)noth ing but a blue sky (G)now.

Af ter all of my (F)run ning,

I’m (Fmaj9)fi nal ly (Gsus)com ing,

af ter (Am7)all of my (F)run ning,

I’m (Fmaj9)fi nal ly (Gsus)com ing

Coming Home — Visual Piano Sheet Music

1 person has learned this song

"Coming Home" in visual bar notation — see every note as a colored bar on the staff. Easier to read than traditional sheet music. Scrolls automatically as you play. Key of A, 68 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a beautiful exercise in navigating borrowed chords — your left hand will move through fifteen different shapes, so expect the real challenge to be smooth transitions rather than speed.

At 68 BPM you have breathing room, but don't let that fool you; shifts like A to Ab or jumping into Fmaj9 and Dm7 demand that you know each voicing cold before connecting them.

Start hands-separate, drilling your left hand's block chords in four-bar chunks until the shapes feel automatic.

Then add the right-hand melody at half tempo, paying special attention to spots where the harmony suddenly darkens — those Am and F sections will want to trip up your fingers if you're still "searching" for the shape.

Use the sustain pedal gently to bridge gaps, lifting cleanly on each chord change so nothing muddies.

This is the piece that'll make borrowed chords feel like home to your hands.
