Exploring the theme of missing home: Home by Michael Buble

Home by Michael Buble

Another(G) summer day
Has(D/F#m) come and gone away
In(Em) Paris and Rome(D)
But I wanna go (C)home(D)

Mmmmmmmm
(G) May be surrounded by a million people I
(Em)Still feel all alone(D)
I just wanna go home (C)
Oh, I(D) miss you, you(G) know

And I’ve been keeping(C) all the letters that I wrote(Em) to you
Each one a line(A) or two“I’m fine baby, how(C) are you?(D)”
Well I would send(C) them but I know that it’s just(Em) not enough
My words were cold(F) and flat
And you deserve more(D) than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky, I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm,
I’ve got to go home
Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like
I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home
