- chords and LYRICS
(Demo is in D major)
I V
You can’t always go home
vi I
When the paint is chipped and faded
IV I
When your bridges are burned
ii V
And your memory is over rated
I V
All the time you wasted
vi I
Looking back on what you learned
IV I
And now you know
ii V I
You can’t always go home
ii
At a ticketed event
vi
We were rushing in the back end
ii
On the field for far too long
vi
With nothing to defend
ii
Took it back to repent
vi
And left it for a better man
ii
It was there and then it was gone
V
Now its happening again
You can’t always go home
When the paint is chipped and faded
When your bridges are burned
And your memory is over rated
All the time you wasted
Looking back on what you lost
And now you know
You can’t always go home
Man or beast
You make your own choice
I’m not the one to make that call
You gotta use your own voice
Speaking as everything does
Is all there ever was
Telling stories of lives well lived
Become new as everything does
You can’t always go home
When the paint is chipped and faded
When your bridges are burned
And your memory is over rated
All the time you wasted
Looking back on what you learned
And now you know
You can’t always go home
