Homecoming Chords & Lyrics - Josh Ritter

[INTRO]
[C] [G] [F] x 2

[VERSE 1]
[C] I feel a change in the weather,
I feel a change in me, [G]
The days are getting shorter [F] and the birds begin to leave,
[C] Even me, yes, yes, y'all,
Who has been so long alone, [G]
I'm headed home, [F] Headed home

[C] [G] [F]

[VERSE 2]
[C] The nights are getting colder now,
The air is getting crisp, [G]
I first tasted the universe [F] on a night like this,
[C] A box of wine, an alibi,
and the hunger in her eyes, [G]
In a place where the tree of[F] good and evil still resides,
[C] Still re[G]sides [F]

[CHORUS]
Home[C]coming,
Home[G]coming, homecoming, [F]

[VERSE 3]
[C] She said "show me what you got, babe,
I'm not like other girls", [G]

Just give me your bad self
And a p[F]lace for us to make a stand and I can move the world
[C] Lift the valley from the floor, honey,
Litle town into the sky[G] ,
They'll say that it's a miracle[F] and you'll know damn well they're right,
[C] Damn [G]well they're right [F]

[CHORUS]
Home[C]coming,
Home[G]coming, homecoming, [F]
Home[C]coming,
Home[G]coming, homecoming, [F]

[VERSE 4]
[C] When the oracle spoke to me she was like a roadside song,
[G] Do unto others as you would have th[F]em do,

Even if in turn they do you wrong,
[C] This town right here's my everything,
Though I've been torn away, [G]
It has my heart, It has my [F]heart,
Be still my heart, My heart will [C]stay,
My heart will stay, My heart will stay, [G] [F]

[C] [G] [F] x 2

[VERSE 5]
[F]Get just a little bit [G]higher,
Get a little tongue [Am]tied,
Gonna try to find what[F]ever ever ever made time,
[F]That kind of immemorial,
[G]That time before the fall,
[Am]That time before the autumn
[F]Really turned the corner
[F]Drive east of Eden,
'Till we [G]start to feel the west,
You were [Am]never far from nowhere,
You could [F]see it from the edge of [Am]town,
Honey, baby, wonder [G]how it feel now,
Some[Am]how I can't believe that it could [G]feel like before, but,

[VERSE 6]
[C] The air's getting colder now,
[Am] The nights are getting crisp,
[G] I first tasted the universe on a [F]night like this,
[C] An alibi, a box of wine,
And the [Am]hunger in your eyes,
[G] In a place where the tree of good and evil [F] still resides,

[CHORUS]
Home[C]coming,
Home[G]coming, homecoming,[F] (Homecoming)
Home[C]coming,
Home[G]coming, homecoming,[F] (Homecoming)
Home[C]coming,
Home[G]coming, homecoming,[F] (Don't go away now)
Home[C]coming, (Don't go away now)
Home[G]coming, homecoming... [F]
Home[C]coming, (Don't go away now)
Home[G]coming, homecoming... [F]

[C]
