Strum
D-DU-UDU
 The dimming  of the light makes the picture clearer
 It's just an old photograph
 There's nothing to hide
 When the world  was just beginning
 I memorized  a face so it's not forgotten
 I hear the wind whistlin'
 Come back anytime
 And we'll mix  our lives together
 Heaven knows,  what keeps mankind alive
 Every hand,  goes searching for its partner
 In crime,  under chairs  and behind tables
 Connecting,  to places  we have known
 (I'm looking for a)
Home,  where the wheels are turning
 Home, why I keep returning
Home,  where my world  is breaking in two
Home,  with the neighbors fighting
 Home, always so exciting
Home,  were my parents  telling the truth?
Home,  such a funny feeling
Home,  no-one ever speaking
Home,  with our bodies touching
Home,  and the cameras watching
Home,  will infect  what ever you do
 Where home,  comes to life  from out of the blue
Tiny  little boats on a beach at sunset
 I took a drink from a jar
 And into my head
 Familiar smells  and flavors
 Vehicles  are stuck on the plains of heaven
 I see their wheels spinning round
 And everywhere
 I can hear  those people saying
 That the eye,  is the measure of the man
 You can fly,  from the stuff that still surrounds  you
 Where home,  and the band  keeps marchin' on
 Connecting,  to every  living soul
 Compassion,  for things  I'll never know
