Now then you're in the magazines

Tabloid rags and the trash machines

Spitting out the image of the memory
F7M
Of a girl with the pigtails flying

I had a dream that you were calling home

They say your heart is where your treasure is
Am
But maybe there's another way to measure this
G
Cause it feels like what you find pleasure in
F7M
Are the things that are bringing you down
C
And every now and then

I wonder if you'll ever make it home again

Back to the childhood innocence

of the girl on the old playground

And I wonder out loud

Where your heart is now

Where your heart is now
