Dm C
I see you bite your bottom lip
G
Can you feel my kisses on your hands?
Dm C
You're almost here, you catch your breath,
G
A ghost is whisperin' in your head:
F G F G
''No, you're not home''
[Refrão]Am
I'm on a fire escape
F
Where you said to wait
C G
And I did, yes I did
Am
Oh, I heard the cold winds say:
F
"You're a fool to stay"
C G
But I did, yes I did
F G F G
No, you're not my home
Dm C
No matter how my heart tries,
G
I'm not too blind to realize
Dm C
When I'm free from the grip of this life,
G
You won't be there by my side
F G F G
''No, you're not home''
Oh, you're not my home
Oh, you're not my home
You're not my home
[Refrão]I'm on a fire escape
Where you said to wait
And I did, yes I did
No, I heard the cold winds say:
"You're a fool to stay"
But I did, yes I did
Oh, you're not my home
And every word I wanted to say
Got replaced with the wedding ring
