Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice, or tap Capo 3 to see the real chords with no capo.
Transposed. The chord names and boxes have moved; any tab on this page is still written for the original key.
It was late Halloween evening when I got into town
New place with new walls, and a call from you
After nine months and three weeks of being down
All I could do was think of you
I'm feeling; and I'm thinking; and I'm allowing
For your love, to fill me up again
bouncy
And it all comes back to you,
And all my feelings fade from blue
And all this time I've been alone,
Baby you just feel like home to me
You look at the clock and say, "You know I need to go"
But I just hold you down and beg you not to go
After an hour or so, she was here for way too long
It's a beautiful day to a lonely night, and I sleep alone
ChorusSame as Chorus. Tap to open.
I'm feeling; and I'm thinking; and I'm allowing
For your love, to fill me up again
bouncy
And it all comes back to you,
And all my feelings fade from blue
And all this time I've been alone,
Baby you just feel like home to me
A familiar love is a hard love to lose
Supposing we're friends but I can't stop holding you
After the world stands still when the second act begins
No calls, my world silent once again
Chorus (Past Tense, Slow)Same as Chorus. Tap to open.
I'm feeling; and I'm thinking; and I'm allowing
For your love, to fill me up again
bouncy
And it all comes back to you,
And all my feelings fade from blue
And all this time I've been alone,
Baby you just feel like home to me
