[F] [A#] [C] [Dm]
[A#] [F] [Csus] [C]
(Verse 1)
[F]All[A#] by[C] mysel[Dm]f
With this g[A#]great big world [F]before me
But it's [Csus]all for someone[C]someone else
I've [F]tried an[A#]d trie[C]d ag[Dm]ain
To let you [A#]know just where[F]where my heart is
To tell t[Csus]the truth and no[C]not pretend
(Prechorus 1)
All I [F/A]needed[A#]needed
was to [F]get awa[C]away
Just to [F/A]realize tha[A#]that I was meant t[Csus]to stay [C]
(Chorus 1)
Where the m[F]mountains
sing through the screams of seagulls
Where the w[A#]whales can live
'cause they're gentle people
In my [Dm]homet[F]hometown, my[A#]my hometown
Thought I [Dm]made it clear, do [F]I have to sing it?
It was[A#]was always there, we just didn't see it
[Dm]All I need is[F]is you and me and my[A#]my home
(Post-Chorus 1)
Vera [F]með þér, með[A#]með þér
Í [Dm]Húsavík v[F]við Skjálfanda
[A#]Í heimabæ[F]heimabærinn minn [F]
(Verse 2)
[F]You[A#] want[C] th[Dm]e world (Want[C] t[Dm]he world)
All the[A#]the neon lights and [F]billboards
To be s[Csus]seen and to be[C]be heard (Heard)
[F]And I [A#]fol[C]follow[Dm]lowed you (Oh-ooh)
But [A#]now I know what m[F]makes me happy
And I c[Csus]can tell you f[C]feel it too
(Chorus 2)
Where the m[F]mountains sing
through the screams of seagulls
Where the w[A#]whales can live
'cause they're gentle people
In my [Dm]homet[F]hometown, my[A#]my hometown
Where the nor[Dm]northern lights burst[F]burst out in colors
And the ma[A#]magic nights surpass all others
[Dm]Það eina sem ég[F]ég þrái er[A#]er, að vera
(Post-Chorus 2)
[F]Vera með þér (Vera með þér),[A#]þér), með þér (Vera með þér)
[Dm]Í Húsavík við[F]við Skjálfanda
[A#]My home,
my ho[F]metown[A#] ——[Dm]———[F]————[A#]————
