[Verse 1]
C G
Red brick and bamboo towers
Am F
Line the skyline with much power
C G
Yellow cars and smoggy skies
Am F
With neon lights that attract your eyes
[Bridge]
C
Hong Kong is moving around you
G
You can't help but stand there in awe
Am
Hong Kong is moving without you
F
But you can't help and drop your jaw
[Chorus]
C
A home away from home
G
Yet, oh, so far away
Am
Been years since I've been back
F
And my memories will slowly fade away
C G Am F C* G*
My memories will slowly fade away
[Verse 2]
C* G*
Late nights were alright
Am* F*
And dim sum was always fun
C* G*
Big family with too much food
Am* F*
Oh, just eat more and don't be rude
[Bridge]
C
Your family is living without you
G
All the way across the sea
Am
Your family is moving without you
F
No matter how much you plea
[Chorus]
C
A home away from home
G
Yet, oh, so far away
Am
Been years since I've been back
F
And my memories will slowly fade away
C G Am F C* G*
My memories will slowly fade away
[Verse 3]
Am C F
I don't know when I'll be back
Am C F
It feels like i'm losing track of time
Am C F
My memories they feel so vivid
Am C F
Yet so much time has passed
C
You're missing a piece of yourself
G
You left it behind you there
Am
You're missing a piece of yourself
F
Don't it feel so unfair
[Outro]
C
That your family is living without you
G
All the way across the sea
Am
Your family is moving without you
F
No matter how much you plea
Am G C F
maybe one day you'll see them again
Am G C
maybe one day you'll see
