G                                   D 
Some times it feels like I'm so far away  

G                                    D 
like everything I love has lost its place 

          G 
when life gets the best of me  
        A 
I just close my eyes and see 

         G 
fireflys dancing in the yard 
        D 
under a blanket of stars 
              A 
sound of that rusty string guitar 
                   D 
playing songs we know  

               G 
and all that i have to do 
              D              G 
is think one little thought of you  
            A 
and I'm back home 
                  D 
I'm right back home 

G                                 D 
work so long and hard to chase a dream  
G                                   D 
wind up some place you don't want to be 
G 
it such a lonely road  
A 
especially when you know  

           G 
there's fireflys dancing in the yard 
        D 
under a blanket of stars 
              A 
sound of that rusty string guitar 
                   D 
playing songs we know  

              G 
and all that i have to do 
              D              G 
is think one little thought of you  
            A 
and I'm back home 
                  D G 
I'm right back home 
G        A 
I'm back home 
 G      D 
yea I'm right back home
