Intro:
G D Am C G Am C D G (6 bars)

Verse 1:
G D
the bedroom blinds hang vertical,
Am C
where holding hands read the personals,
G Am
you're the finish line with no laurel,
C D G
with no victory to taste,

G D
just the paper match and the tv stand,
Am C
thin coat of dust on the mannequins,
G Am
and the summer dress you left hanging in,
C D G G
oh the place we used to kiss,

G D
now it's getting hot here on this sandy shore,
Am C
wish you'd need me less and want me more,
G Am
and the sunburned skin at the hotel door,
C D G
but you won't let him in,


Chorus 1:
D C G
and they found their own idea of home,
D C Am D
when they say they don't need ya anymore,
G
their own idea of home,

Verse 2:
G D
so it's gray ones down with the sidewalk girls,
Am C
spinning heads around bicycles,
G Am
cut their necklines in the motion blur,
C D G
no i wasn't far from it,

G D
and you're smudging lines blind across your phone,
Am C
making star maps for the miserable,
G Am
got four hundred friends and a quiet phone,
C D G
to keep you up at night,


Chorus 2:
D C G
and they found their own idea of home,
D C Am D
when they say they don't need ya anymore,
G
their own idea of home,

Verse 3:

G D
left the room scraping for words,
Am C
flick the switch, let the bulbs get warm,
G Am
and he'd miss you more as an afterthought,
C D G
so we're down to this,

G D
sing major chords, see colors bleed,
Am C
kiss the lips, part the zipper's teeth,
G Am
and i'll take my hours with me when i leave,
C D G
set their memories free,


Chorus 3:
D C G
and they found their own idea of home,
D C Am D
when they say they don't need ya anymore,
G
their own idea of home,
