[Intro]
N.C.
[Verse]
G
Had a dream last night
D Em
I was back in the neighborhood
C G D
Hanging with the boys in the band on the street
Em C
We were talking about moving to Hollywood
G D
Livin’ from hand to mouth
Em C
Thought we had it all figured out
G D Em C
With nothing but a heart filled up on dreams
G D Am7 C
But I know now what I didn't know then
G D Am7 C
I know now what I didn't know then
[Verse]
Em G
There's this hipster café
D Am
In the place where the butcher was
Em G
It's like the Champs Elysese
D Am
Back in my old neighborhood
Em G
All my neighbors are gone
D Am
Cashed out and moved away
C
Can't afford it anyway no more
[Verse]
Em G
They got those same sidewalk cracks
D Am
Same place that they used to be
Em G
But most everything else
D Am
Just ancient history
Em G
And though so much has changed
D Am C
Nothing more than a memory remains
C
Just a memory remains
[Chorus]
G D
You can't go home again
Am7 C
When you go you're gone forever
G D Am7 C
Though you swear you'll never let it get that far oh no
G D
You can't go home again
Am7 C
Keep reaching for something better
G D Am7
And remember home is always in your heart
C G D Am7 C
It's always in your heart
[Verse]
Em G
I got this place in my brain
D Am
I go to every now and then
Em G
Where I turn back the time
D Am7
To this secret place inside my mind
Em G
And I know it ain't true
D Am7 C
Cause those glory days are a long time gone
C
It’s all a long time gone
[Chorus]
G D
You can't go home again
Am7 C
When you go you're gone forever
G D Am7 C
Though you swear you'll never let it get that far oh no
G D
You can't go home again
Am7 C
Keep reaching for something better
G D Am7
And remember home is always in your heart
C G D
It's always in your heart
Am7 C G D Am7 C
No matter where you go it’s not that far
[Outro]
G D Am7 C
Ang I know now what I didn't know then
G D Am7 C
I know now what I didn't know then
G D
Ang I know now what I didn't know then
Am7 C
You can't go back home again
G
Had a dream last night
D Em
I was back in the neighborhood
C G
Back in the neighborhood
