G#m                    F#
I was listening to the ocean
G#m                  F#
I saw a face in the sand
            E
But when I picked it up
         B         F#          E
Then it vanished away from my hands
G#m                  F#
I had a dream I was seven
G#m                   F#
Climbing my way in a tree
         E
I saw a piece of heaven
 B         F#          E
Waiting impatient for me

    C#m
And I was running far away
      E
Would I run off the world someday?
B                F#
Nobody knows, nobody knows
   C#m
And I was dancing in the rain
   E
I felt alive and I can't complain

Chorus:
B
But now take me home
F#                   Emaj7
Take me home where I belong
                    C#m
I can't take it anymore

I was painting a picture
The picture was a painting of you
And for a moment I thought you were here
But then again, it wasn't true, dah
And all this time I have been lyin'
Oh, lyin' in secret to myself
I've been putting sorrow on the
farthest place on my shelf
La-di-da

And I was runnin' far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
And I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain

Chorus:
B
But now take me home
F#                   Emaj7
Take me home where I belong

I got no other place to go
B
Now take me home
F#                   Emaj7
Take me home where I belong

I got no other place to go
B
Now take me home
F#                   Emaj7
Take me home where I belong
                    C#m
I can't take it anymore

          C#m
But I kept running
                     E
For a soft place to fall
          B
And I kept running
                    F#
For a soft place to fall
          C#m
And I kept running
                     E
For a soft place to fall
          B
And I kept running
                    F#
For a soft place to fall

And I was runnin' far away
Would I run off the world someday?

Chorus:
But no, take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
No, take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go

No, take me home, home where I belong, no, no
No, take me home, home where I belong, oh, oh, oh
No, take me home, home where I belong, no, no
No, take me home, home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
