G#m      D#m         E
I've been   missing home
G#m        D#m          E
Late nights  when I'm alone
G#m      D#m              E
Think back  and paint a scene
C#m        D#m           E
Soft lights  and quiet streets
C#m  D#m        E
So easy not to leave

Chorus:
G#m           D#m         E
I'd be such a fool to ever
                            F#
think I could have stayed forever
G#m      D#m          E
Nothing perfect ever lasts
G#m            D#m           E
I know that I shouldn't do this,
                   F#
memories can only fool us
G#m        D#m           E
But is it living in the past
C#m    D#m           E
If I'm only looking back?
Looking back

In my mind nothing's changed
Still, life's frozen in place
Reach out and grab ahold
Fall down the rabbit hole
I cling to what I know

Chorus

Looking back

Lights out and try to sleep
Look up and start to think
How I don't want to spend my life
Stuck between what's in front of me
And the way it used to be

Chorus:
I'd be such a fool to ever
Think I could have stayed forever
Nothing perfect ever lasts
I know that I shouldn't do this
Memories can only fool us
But is it living in the past
If I'm only looking back?

I've been missing home
