[Intro]
C Am7 C Am7
C Am7 C Am7
[Verse 1]
F
I used to just walk on in
C Am7 C Am7
Now I gotta knock on the door
F
I'm parking on the street now and
C Am7 C
My muddy tennis shoes ain't on the porch
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 F
And now my bedroom's just my brother's mess
F
I feel like I'm a hotel guest
Am7 C
It's always just the way it goes, I guess
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
But I can't say I don't miss it
Fmaj7
When I go back and visit
C
It's 'bout the same but something's changed
Am7
Since I've been on my own
Fmaj7
Yeah it might be where I started
Fmaj7
But now it's only where half my heart is
Am7 G
'Cause I grew up and I moved out
F C Am7 C Am7
And just like that now home is just a house
[Verse 2]
F
I know I used to live there
C Am7 C Am7
'Cause I'm in every picture on the wall
F
Back when I had brown hair
C Am7 C Am7
And I picked up a guitar to get away from it all, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Now it's quiet in my living room
G
And I love my place, I really do
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
But I can't say I don't miss it
Fmaj7
When I go back and visit
C
It's 'bout the same but something's changed
Am7
Since I've been on my own

Yeah it might be where I started
Fmaj7
But now it's only where half my heart is
Am7 G
'Cause I grew up and I moved out
F C Am7 C Am7
And just like that now home is just a house
F
It's just a house
[Bridge]
Am
I know that's how it's supposed to be
G
Put twenty down for a front door key
F
And a welcome mat, greener grass
F
There ain't no way I'd trade all that
[Outro]
Fmaj7
'Cause I finally did it
Fmaj7
It's a whole lot different
C
But this couch is freedom now
Am
I call it all my own
F
Yeah this brand new life I started
F
That's where my heart is
Am
I moved out, went ten miles south
F C Am G
This place is so much more than just a house
Am C Am G Am C
It ain't just a house
