Verse 1Em
I don't want to leave here
DG
I don't want to stay
Em
It feels like pinching to me
DG
Either way
C
And the places I long for the most
G
Are the places where I've been
Am
They are calling out to me
D
Like a long lost friend
Em
It's not about losing faith
DG
It's not about trust
Em
It's all about comfortable
DG
When you move so much
C
And the place I was wasn't perfect
G
But I had found a way to live
Am
And it wasn't milk or honey
D
But then neither is this
ChorusCG
I've been painting pictures of Egypt,
CD
I've been leaving out what it lacks
CG
The future feels so hard,
D
And I wanna go back!

But the places that used to fit me,
CEm
Cannot hold the things I've learned
Am
Those roads were closed off to me

I am caught between the Promise

And the things I know

EndingEm
If it comes to quick
DG
I may not appreciate it
EmDAm
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?

And if it comes to quick
DG
I may not recognize it

Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
