[Verse 1]
Em                     D
I was listening to the ocean
Em                  D
I saw a face in the sand
           C/G
But when I picked it up
         G       D            C/G
Then it vanished away from my hands - down...
Em                  D
I had a dream I was seven
Em                   D
Climbing my way in a tree
        C/G
I saw a piece of heaven
G        D          C/G
Waiting, impatient, for me
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Am7
And I was running far away
     C/G
Would I run off the world someday?
G               D
Nobody knows, nobody knows
   Am7
And I was dancing in the rain
   C/G
I felt alive and I can't complain
 
[Chorus]
G
But now take me home
D                     C/G
Take me home where I belong
                Am7
I can't take it anymore
 
[Verse 2]
Em                D
I was painting a picture
Em                            D
The picture was a painting of you
          C/G                       G
And for a moment I thought you were here
         D                C/G
But then again, it wasn't true - down...
    Em                         D
And all this time I have been lying
    Em                   D
Oh, lying in secret to myself
            C/G                   G      D           C/G
I've been putting sorrow on the farest place on my shelf
La-di-da
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Am7
And I was running far away
     C/G
Would I run off the world someday?
G               D
Nobody knows, nobody knows
   Am7
And I was dancing in the rain
   C/G
I felt alive and I can't complain
 
[Chorus]
G
But now take me home
D                     C/G
Take me home where I belong
                         G
I got no other place to go
                 D
Now take me home
                      C/G
Take me home where I belong
                         G
I got no other place to go
                  D
Now take me home
                         C/G
Take me home where I belong
                   Am7
I can't take it anymore...
 
[Bridge]
                                       C/G
But I kept running for a soft place to fall
             G                          D
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
             Am7                       C/G
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
             G                          D
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Am7
And I was running far away
      C/G
Would I run off the world someday?
 
[Chorus]
G
But now take me home
D                     Am7
Take me home where I belong
   C/G                    G
I got no other place to go
                 D
Now take me home
                      Am7
Take me home where I belong
  C/G                     G
I got no other place to go
 
[Outro]
                 D            Am7      C/G
Now take me home, home where I belong, no, no
G                D            Am7      C/G
Now take me home, home where I belong, oh, oh
G                D            Am7      C/G
Now take me home, home where I belong, no, no
G                D                C/G
Now take me home, home where I belong
                 Am7
I can't take it anymore

watching the video I noticed during the first two lines the verse he plays a normal D instead of the fancy one :D + a hammer on (Dsus4). Anyway, thanks for the chords! :)
