Em D G C 2x
Em
I don't want to leave here
D G
I don't want to stay
Em
It feels like pinching to me
D G
Either way
C
And the places I long for the most
G
Are the places where I've been
Am
They are calling out to me
D
Like a long lost friend
Em
It's not about losing faith
D G
It's not about trust
Em
It's all about comfortable
D G
When you move so much
C
And the place I was wasn't perfect

But I had found a way to live
Am
And it wasn't milk or honey
D
But then neither is this
C G
I've been painting pictures of Egypt,
C D
I've been leaving out what it lacks
C G
The future feels so hard,
D
And I wanna go back!
C G
But the places that used to fit me,
C Em
Cannot hold the things I've learned
Am
Those roads were closed off to me
D Em D G C 2x
While my back was turned!

The past is so tangible
D G
I know it by heart
Em D
Familiar things are never easy

To discard
C
I was dying for some freedom

But now I hesitate to go

I am caught between the Promise

C D
I've been leaving out what it lacks

And I wanna go back!
C G
But the places that used to fit me,
C Em
Cannot hold the things I've learned
Am
Those roads were closed off to me
D Em D G C 2x
While my back was turned!
Em
If it comes to quick
D G

Em D Am
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?

D G
I may not recognize it
Em D Am
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
