[D]These days my friends don't seem to know me
[F#m]Without my suitcase [G]in my head
[D]And when I'm standing still
[F#m]I seem to disappear
[G]But maybe that's [D]how I found you
[F#m]Maybe that's taught me exactly [C]what I want
[G]Maybe meeting you so far [D]away from home
[F#m]Is what makes it all so [C]clear
Chorus
[A]That you got that [G]special kind of sadness

Verse 2
[D]When people ask me where I come from
[F#m]To see what that says [C]about a man
[G]I only end up giving [D]bad directions
[F#m]That never lead them there at all
[C][G]It's something [Em7]written [G]in the headlights
[A]It's something slimming [D]in my drink
[F#m]And if I were the moon
[F#m]It'd be exactly where [C]I'd fall
Chorus

[F#m]For the places [C]I have been

[F#m]Deep beneath [C]my nails
[G]But now I know [D]what I've been missing
[F#m]And I'm going [C]home to make it mine
[G]And I'll be batting [D]in the hatches
[F#m]And pulling in the [C]sails
