On The Way Home Tab par John Mayer

Verse 1
             G  D               G   D
The summer's over, this town is closing.
               G  D              A   D
They're waving people out of the ocean.
            G  D                 G   D
We had the feeling like we were floating.
         G   D                  A   D
We never noticed where time was going.

          G  D                G   D
Do you remember when we first got here?
              G  D                    A   D
The days were longer; the nights were hot here.
          G     D                 G   D
Now, it's September; the engine's starting.
             G  D             A     D   
You're empty-handed and heavy-hearted.


Chorus                   
                         G                   Bm
But just remember on the way home, (Oooh ooh ooh)
                             G
That you were never meant to feel alone.
G                 D          G         D
It takes a little while, but you'll be fine,
G            D           A        D (hold)
Another good time coming down the line.


Verse 2
A         D       A           D
You'll go back to love that's waiting,
A       D        A
I'll unpack in a rented room.
A          D        A            D
How's that life you swear you're hating?
A        D        A          D
Grass is greener, that makes two.


Chorus                   
                         G                   Bm
But just remember on the way home, (Oooh ooh ooh)
                             G
That you were never meant to feel alone.
     G       D       G           D
Just look me up; get back on the bus.
     G            D           A       D
I'll see you next week if you need my trust.


Verse 3

D
Life ain't short, but it sure is small.
D
You get forever but nobody at all.
D
Life ain't short, but it sure is small.
D
You get forever but nobody at all.
                                       A
It don't come often, and it don't stay long.
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh)


Chorus                   
                         G                   Bm
But just remember on the way home, (Oooh ooh ooh)
                            G
That you don't ever have to feel alone.
G                D    G           D
Just stay on the run; get off the grid.
G             D            A           D
Hide yourself out like you know that I did,
G                D                G          D
And if you might find that you're running is done,
G               D            A       D
A little bit of Heaven never hurt no one.
