            Home Is Where The Heart Breaks

G                           C        G
I don™t remember much about Daddy at all

G                                          D            G
Said he drove a truck, Momma said he was handsome and tall

G                                       C              G
But to me he was never more than just a picture on the wall

G                                     D             G
And for my 16th birthday all he could give me was a call

G-C-G-D-G

G                                   C                G
Momma was a looker, that™s what the men would always say

G                                     D          G
She must have tried them all out once Daddy went away

G                                     C         G
And to me our back door was just some beat up, turning page

G                                            D               G
And I just sat there dying inside, there was nothing left to say


C                  G
And the wheels go ˜round

D                  G
And the world gets cold

C                         G                   D              G
And the best that I could hope for is just to die when I get old

C              G           D  Em
And these four walls drive me insane

C         G                 D     G
Sometimes home is where the heart breaks

G-C-G-D-G

Momma died from cancer when I was 22
And this house was all she left to me, so what else could I do
I got a job out paving highways and fell all in love with you
And now months later there™s a nursery in what used to be my room

Now I come home, we don™t talk, and you cry yourself to sleep
And I sit there ˜til the liquor finally gets the best of me
Then I crumple down beside you and kiss your tear-stained cheek
And realize this house is just a black hole and all I ever do is sink


And the tears fall down
And the world gets cold
And the best that I could hope for is to die when I get old
And these four walls drive me insane
Sometimes home is where the heart breaks

My son asked me Saturday “Daddy, how come you never smile?”
The worst thing a man could do is just lie right to his child
So I just tell some tired story about years ago and running wild
He can figure out the cold hard truth on his own in just a while

C             G
And the years go by

D                  G
And the world gets cold

C                         G                   D              G
And the best that I could hope for is just to die when I get old

C              G           D  Em
And these four walls drive me insane

C         G                 D     G
Sometimes home is where the heart breaks

C         G                 D     G
Sometimes home is where the heart breaks
