	  		BACK HOME 
Yellowcard : Ocean Avenue 
 
Intro: Bm-D ... (I wasn't able to complete this one) 
 
D 
Don't know 
A				Bm 
What I was looking for when I went home 
   G 
I found me alone 
D 
Sometimes 
A				   Bm 
I need someone to say, "You'll be alright!" 
	  G 
"What's on your mind?" 
 
 
A			   G 
But the water's shallow here 
		   Bm 
And I am full of fear 
		        G 
And empty-handed after two long years 
 
Chorus: 
D			A 
Another sunny day in California 
Bm				        G 
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it 
D				         A 
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away 
Bm			        G 
Before you get a chance to feel it 
 
Chord pattern: D-A-Bm-G 
Back home 
I always thought I wanted so much more 
Now I'm not too sure 
`Cause sometimes 
I miss knowing someone's there for me 
And feeling free 
 
Chord Pattern: A-G-Bm-G 
Free to stand beside 
The ocean in moonlight 
And light myself a smoke beneath 
The dark Atlantic sky 
 
Bm				   G  
Everybody here is living life in fear of falling out of line 
Bm                                    G 
Tearing lives apart, breaking lots of hearts just to pass the time 
Bm                                       G 
And the eyes get red in the back of your head 
Bm 
This place will make you blind 
                       G 
Put it all behind me and I'll be just fine. 
 
Same chord pattern: D-A-Bm-G  
Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky 
Sometimes I wish that it would rain here 
And wash away the West Coast dreaming from my eyes 
There's nothing real for them to see here 
 
Another sunny day in California 
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it 
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away 
Before you get a chance to feel it 
 
Comments: 
Basic chords. 
Insanely simple. 
Power chords make it sound much better. 
Well, it works, either way. 
The intro was "off!" ... I'll work on that.
