Verse
D D/F#
They're not really expecting me
G A Bm
But I know where they hide the key, under the welcome mat
A
There's no better place than that

Don't know how long I've been gone

That's why I'm coming back

When I see the lights of my hometown

Everything makes sense

Maybe it's the innocence

I'm getting there as fast as I can go

I can always find peace of mind

In the lights of my hometown

Can make it all come rushing back

They say it's not the same
A
But to me it will never change
