 -  -
 Yes, I made the choice
 For papa,  I will stay
But  I don't deserve  to to lose my freedom  in this way
 You monster!
If  you think that what you've done  is right,  well then
 You're a fool!
Think again!
 --  --
--  -
 Is this home?
 Is this where  I should learn  to be happy?
 Never dreamed
 That a home  could be dark  and cold
----
 I was told
 Ev'ry day  in my childhood:
 - E7sus----  - /
 Even when we grow old
Home  will be where  the heart  is
 Csus----E7sus/--/--  - /  -
 Never were words so true!
 My heart's far,  far away
 -  - /  --  --  -
 Home is too
 Is this home
 Is this what  I must learn  to believe  in
 Try to find
 Something good  in this tragic  place
 -- --
 Just in case
 I should stay  here forever
 - E7sus----  - /  -
 Held in this empty place
Oh,  but that won't  be easy
 Csus--  -- E7sus/--/--  - /  -
 I know the reason why
 My heart's  far, far away
   - /  --  --
 Home's a lie
 What I'd give  to return
 To the life  that I  knew lately
 And to think  I complained
   E7sus -  - /  --  --
 Of that dull provincial town
----
 Is this home?
  /  - /----  - /  - /  -
 Am I here for a day or forever?
 -- F/m--[G6]
 Shut away
  /  - --  --  - /  - /  -
 From the world until who knows when
-- /--
 Oh, but then
 As my life  has been altered once
  Fsus--[F#]/[Bb]--[Bm] - [D7]/! -
 It can change again
/--  -- /-  Asus/  -  -
 Build higher walls around me
 Dsus--  -- F7sus/[C]--[F#7]--[Bm] - [D7]/[A] -
 Change ev'ry lock and key
 Nothing lasts,  nothing holds
 All of me
My  heart's far, far  away
/----  - /  -  - /  -
 Home and free!
