Verse 1:
C           G
House up in Clearlake
C          G
Where I used to live
C               G
Picked the lock on the front door
C        G
And felt it give
C                    G
Touch nothing, move nothing, stand still
C              G
Keep my ears open for cars
C                 G
See how the people here live now
F                  G
Hope that they're better at it than I was

Chorus:
     C G Am
I used to live here
F     Am G C   G
I used to live here
     C G Am
I used to live here
F       G
I used to live here

C G Am F Am G C G

Verse 2:
C             G
Pictures up on the mantle
C       G
Nobody I know
 C             G
I stand by the tiny furnace
C              G
Where the long shadows grow
C                 G
Living room to bedroom to kitchen
C         G
Familiar and warm
C                    G
Hours spent starving within these walls
F          G
Sounds of a distant storm


Chorus:
     C G Am
I used to live here
F     Am G C   G
I used to live here
     C G Am
I used to live here
G     F  C
I used to live here


Bridge:
Em                Am
Fight through the ghosts in the hallway
Em     Am
Duck and weave
Em               Am
Stand by the door with my eyes closed
     F     G  G
When it's time to leave

Verse 3:
C            G
Steal home before sunset
C         G
Cover up my tracks
C               G
Drive home with old dreams at play in my mind
C            G
And the wind at my back
C                G
Break the lock on my own garden gate
C             G
When I get home after dark
C                G
Sit looking up at the stars outside
   F            G
Like teeth in the mouth of a shark


Chorus:
     C G Am
I used to live here
F     Am G C   G
I used to live here
     C G Am
I used to live here
G     F  C
I used to live here

C G Am F Am G C G
C G Am F F G C
