Jack Savoretti - Going Home

no capo!

[verse (1)]

C
excuse me while i disappear
Bb
i think i’ve overstayed my welcome here
F
so now i think it’s best i go
Dm G
before my heart turns to stone
C
i’ve been travelling 100 years
Bb
thought i was close but i was nowhere near
F
when i asked myself ‘where’d you wanna go?’
Dm G
i guess i’ve never known
Bb
Oh but baby now i think i’ve really noticed

[chorus]

C Bb
i’ve been looking for a better day
F
For my great escape
C Bb F
never afraid of going alone
C Bb
I’m still looking for a better day
F
For my great escape
C F
only now it’s a better way
F
To get back home

[instrumental]

C Bb F B G

[verse (2)]

C
excuse me while i interupt
Bb
all this noise and all this fuss
F
working night and day
Dm
And all the songs i love to play
G
They take me further away
C
further form the ones i love
Bb
i don’t know what i was thinking of
F
When i told myself
Dm
‘go out and chase your dreams
G
And find out what they mean.’
Bb
oh now i can’t wait to quit
F
This crazy scene

[chorus]

C Bb
i’ve been looking for a better day
F
For my great escape
C Bb F
never afraid of going alone
C Bb
I’m still looking for a better day
F
For my great escape
C F
only now it’s a better way
F
To get back home

[bridge]

Dm G F
You know the ( ? ) my choice
Am G C F
defines the man i am
Dm Am
And all the pain i feel
C
Is in my voice
I hope you understand
I hope you understand

[chorus]

C Bb
i’ve been looking for a better day
F
For my great escape
C Bb F
never afraid of going alone
C Bb
I’m still looking for a better day
F
For my great escape
C F
only now it’s a better way

To get back home
