​

Tuning

C# F# B E G# C#

[Intro]
Intro riff in C# minor

Just wing it, you got this

[Verse I]

Em 
   It's December, snow is falling
Em
   You're at home, and no-one's calling.
Am
   It was nice to know you,
Am
   but to know you is to owe you. 
Em
    Fall back down an inner spiral. 
Em 
   Second nature, almost viral.
Am
   Growing just from knowing.
Am
   But, knowing is like owing.

  

[Verse II]

Em
   The day it stopped my heart exploded.
Em
   Time stood still and all imploded.
Am
   It started in my finger tips,
Am
   but let's not get into it.
Em

   Now I swim in colder waters.

Em

   Tailor's sons and farmer's daughters.

Am

   I saw it in your pride,

Am

   and tore it from your side.


[Chorus]
Em  Emadd2 Em Emadd3 

A     

   I'm finding my own way home
Em  Emadd2 Em Emadd3 

A
   I'm finding my own way home

​

[Breakdown]

A

   I'm finding hard on my own,

AMaj7                                             A7
   with no one here to listen to my songs.
                                            Bm
   There's no birds chirping along.
BmMaj7 Bm7                                   G#
   There's also nothing blocking my way,
                        G
    at least not today.

​

[Instrumental]

Easy finger picking part, just keep it simple and go for it. Go wild, but soft, keep to the rhythm but don't. You know, ya you know. 

​

[Verse III]

Em
   And now I know, then so should you.
Em
   It's not like me to hold the truth.
Am
   But I can see it in your eyes
Am
   you'd rather have me lie.
Em

   Fight your battle, slay your dragon.

Em

   Make amends, and break the wagon.

Am

   I won't count the dice.

Am

   But, I can bring the knife. 


[Chorus II]
Em  Emadd2 Em Emadd3 

A     

   I'm finding my own way home
Em  Emadd2 Em Emadd3 

A
   I'm finding my own way home

A                                   C          
  Does that make you feel?

Am

  Anything at all?

Em
