Bm                       C            G  
I heard a street singer play a song I knew  
Bm      Bbm    Am        G  
It brought me closer to you  
Bm                       C            G            
I heard a street singer play a song I call my own  
Bm        Bbm        Am        G  
It brought me to my childhood home

Did you go back from where you came?  
      C   Bm    Am         G    D  
If I get there, will they have my name?  
         C      Bm      Am       G     D  
If they don't, I'll only have myself to blame

Life is a blurry-eyed, heavy-hearted whirlwind of a storm  
Bm      Bbm       Am               G  
Some things just hurt too much to cry  
Bm                                   C                 G       
Memories are like shadows the light won't make disappear  
Bm    Bbm    Am                    G  
I still see you smiling with your eyes  

    C   Bm  Am          G              D  
Did you go back from where you came?  
      C   Bm    Am         G        D  
If I get there, will they have my name?  
         C      Bm      Am       G        D  
If they don't, I'll only have myself to blame
