[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G][Em]
[G][Em][G][C][G][Em]
You [G]know

[Verse 1]
[Em]I have to[G]
[Bm]go b[Em]ack t[G]o the pl[C]ace I hate t[Em]he mo[G]st[Em]
Long [G]ago [Em]it used to[G]
help me [Em]grow
Al[G]ways kep[D]t me f[G]eeling s[C]afe
[G]from coast to coast
[Asus4][G]

[Verse 2]
[Em]Lock the [C]gates at [G]night
and [Em]don't set my [D]place
I won't be [Em]back to [C]see how
[G]the snow covers [D]leaves
[Em]I counted [C]down the hours un[Em]til
I [D]found a shortcut [Em]home to [C]you
But I'm [G]just passing [D]through
Barely [C]a guest, [G]a s[D]tra[C]nger
[D]in my [Em]own [C]home[Em]
I'm back in [C]Toronto,

[Verse 3]
but just until [G]tomorrow
That's when the bleed
[D]ing stops aga[G]in[Em]
Put off all [C]the feelings,
forget all the mean[G]ings
Just let it cycle through
my [C]head
We're spinning again,
[G]the sinning is innoc[Em]ent
Until we [D]realize that [C]we're back in
[D]Toronto once again
[C][G][A]

[Verse 4]
[G]
You [Em]kicked and [C]screamed until you
met your [Em]de fe[D]at
And slammed the [Em]door behind [C]me,
where you [G]stood for [D]weeks
[Em]I spent all [C]night pretending I [Em]was alr[D]ight
I justi[Em]fied, [G]I p[C]lanned,
but I [G]know deep in[D]side
I can't with[C]stand temptation
by your [Em]hand
I'm back in [C]Toronto,

[Verse 5]
but just until [G]tomorrow
That's when [D]the bleeding
[Dsus4]stops aga[D]in[G][Em]
Put off all [C]the feelings,
forget all the mean[G]ings
Just let [D]it cycle [G]through
my [C]head
We're spinning again,
[G]the sinning is innoc[Em]ent
Until we [D]realize that [C]we're back in Toron
[Dsus4]to once agai[C]n[D]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C][G]
[Em]

[Verse 6]
Back [Em]home, Liberty,
[D]cut[Em]ting through the park
[D]I see[C] eve[D]ryt[B]hing has
[Em]changed except for [G]me
This place is called [Bm]home but I've
[Em]never been so [Bm]scared
[C]To face the cold,
breathe in the truth from [D]the [G]air
This place is called [Bm]home,
but from [Em]Kensington to [Bm]Dee's
[C]Everything I pass [Cm]it plants a se[G]ed
And it takes [Bm]me back to a
time when [C]all I [Bm]had
Was a [C]cloud over my [D]head,
weights on my [G]feet
This place is called [Bm]home but it's
[Em]not where I will s[Bm]tay
It's [Em]all tempora[Bm]ry,
[Em]I know I'll never [Ebdim]move away
But I [D]know this [G]city will
[D]always feel [C]strange
[Cm]This city is a [C]stranger [Cm]to m[C]e
