[Verse 1]
C          D
I woke up again in a
 Em           G
 very strange dream
     Am          G
With tears in my eyes
  Bm            C
I thought it was real
    C         D
You told me a story
       Em         G
'Cause I couldn't sleep
    Am        G
You put me to bed and
 Bm              C
laid there with me

[Pre Chorus]
Am      G        Em    D
I'm all alone, I still want
 G   Bm   C
 you back home, mm-mm
        C   D   Em
(Ah-ah, ooh-ooh-ooh,
  D/F# G  Bm    C
 ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2]
  C          D
I looked all around
        Em           G
 hoping you left a note
Am             G
Kept with the secrets
    Bm        C
I wish I had known
    C          D
Was there anything that
 Em         G
 I could've done?
     Am             G
This house feels so empty,
  Bm              C
 now, that you're gone

[Pre Chorus]
    Am       G
And now, I'm alone,
   Em    D    G   Bm   C
I still want you back home
  Em    D    G   Bm   C
I still want you back home

[Chorus]
  G
I wish you said goodbye
       C
'Cause I keep asking why
   Em
If these walls could talk
       D                  C
They'd tell how I long for you
Em           D
I still want you back home
G                 G Am Bm
As I sleep tonight
      C                  D
Don't worry, I'll be fine
   Em                  D C
So don't take the blame
   Bm
It won't change the
            C
 way that I feel
Em           D
I still want you back home

How to play Back Home: key, chords and progression

These are Back Home chords by The Juans on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Back Home by The Juans is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 8 chords in all: C, D, Em, G, Am, Bm, D/F# and D7.

Listen for Bm – C – D – Em (iii – IV – V – vi in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is mi – fah – soh – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
