[Intro]
Am
 
[Verse 1]
          Am                             C
From the day that I was born, I felt strangely out of place,
          G                       Am
no relations to my parents, no relation to my name
       Am                           C
I’ve always been a stranger in the life that I was living
     G                         Am
and ever since I’ve heard that many feel the same.
     C                                       G
So here’s to all the ramblers who’re still looking for directions
          Dm                       Am                   G
Put your arms around your lovers, those with which you roam
           E7                       Am      Am/G       F
Sometimes happiness is closer than some of you might think
      C                 G                     Am
And somewhere down the road you’ll find your home.
 
[Verse 2]
            Am                             C
I left one very early morning, grabbed my bags and my belongings,
     G                      Am
my guitar and my ideas and headed straight up north
       Am                             C
Felt like Christoph Columbus and the fact that I had satnav,
         G                            Am
didn’t make much of a difference, I still strayed back and forth.
             C                                    G
I took the high road, took the low road, didn’t know where I was going
       Dm                              Am                    G
So I traveled many countries, came through many different towns
             E7                             Am      Am/G      F
And many times I couldn’t sleep and didn’t know what I was doing
 C                G                   Am
Mostly tried in vain to disarray my doubts.
 
[Chorus]
           F               Am       F               G                Am
If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
           F               Am       F               G                Am
If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
          G          E7  N.C.         Am
Just go where your heart tells you to go
 
[Verse 3]
         Am                          C
I found home in many places, unexpectedly at times,
         G                             Am
on the banks of English rivers and in deep, dark German woods
        Am                        C
In the arms of many girls, whose names have slipped my mind,
     G                          Am
in empty bars and motels that I had to leave for good.
        C                           G
See a candle burn at midnight in a darkened window frame
          Dm                              Am                 G
Stay up late and watch the sunrise by a clear blue mountain lake
             E7               Am      Am/G      F
Meet a stranger in a pub and ask him for his name
     C              G                           Am
And listen to his story, just for conversations sake.
 
[Chorus]
            F              Am        F               G             Am
If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
            F              Am        F               G             Am
If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
          G          E7  N.C.        Am
Just go where your heart tells you to go
 
[Bridge]
Am                              C
After all my travels, all the years I spent in search,
       G                             Am
for a place to call my home, for a place where I belong
Am                               C
There is just this one and only truth that emerged,
        G                                Am
if you love what you are doing, darling, you will find your home.
 
[Chorus]
       F                  Am       F              G                Am
If you don’t know what to do, just do what your heart tells you to do
           F                  Am        F              G                 Am
And if you don’t know what to say, just say what your heart tells you to say.
            F              Am        F               G               Am
If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
            F              Am        F               G               Am
If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
          G          E7   N.C.        Am
Just go where your heart tells you to go
