"Gotta Get Home" by 77 Bombay Street

intro: Am F Dm G Dm E

Am
Walking in the shadows of mankind
F
Drinking from the dust in the streets
Dm                         G
Living through the seasons having 1000 reasons
Dm                   E
Trying to make ends meet
Am
Flipping coins and lights in September
F
Dancing with the leaves of July
Dm                  G
February pavements seem to hold resentments
Dm                          E
Against me as time's flying by

Am
Gotta get home, gotta get home in December
                                 F
When the lights are shining bright

Gotta get back to what I remember
                           Dm
And then everything's alright
                        G         Am    E
Tell my mum I'm coming home in December

Am
I have seen the Eiffel Tower in Paris
    F
And I have seen the squares of New York
         Dm                      G
I been sleeping next to towers, singing songs for hours
         Dm                 E
Finding comfort in being a dork
Am
Playing with the whales in the ocean
F
Climbing on a mountain with blue eyes
           Dm                       G
And under porches and bridges I've learned that all the riches
     Dm                    E
Are waiting for me in disguise

Am
Gotta get home, gotta get home in December
                                 F
When the lights are shining bright

Gotta get back to what I remember
                           Dm
And then everything's alright
                        G         Am        E
Tell my mum I'm coming home in December, oooh

Am F Dm G Dm E

F                                     Am
I want to go back, I need to go back home
F                                         Am
My friends are waiting for me to come back home
          F
And everybody's there and we have things to share
        Am                                             F
And the family prayer, something is in the wind and I know for sure
                                Am
Deep down in the core, now it's time to go
       E
To my loved ones, I need to go back home

Am
Gotta get home, gotta get home in December
                                 F
When the lights are shining bright

Gotta get back to what I remember
                           Dm
And then everything's alright
                        G         Am                             E
Tell my mum I'm coming home in December (home, home, home, home, yeah)

Am F Dm G Dm E

                   F  Dm
I want to go back home
                      Am
I want to get back home
