The Wailin’ Jennys 

Heaven when we’re home 

NB These are the chords that match the version on the ’40 days’album.  So capo on the 5th fret. 

A					D 
Don't know what time it is, I've been up for way too long 

		A	E	D 
and I'm too tired to sleep 

A				D 
I call my mother on the phone, she wasn't home, 

		A		E	D 
and now I'm wondering the street 

D		Bm			E 
I've been a fool, I've been cruel to myself 

		D 
I've been hanging onto nothing 

	E				A 
when nothing could be worse than hanging on 

		D		E 
And something tells me there must be 

		E	A 
something better than all this 



I've fallen many times in love and every time 

it's been with the wrong man 

Still I'm out there living one day at a time 

and doing the best I can 

Cuz we've all made mistakes 

that seem to lead us astray 

But every time they helped to get us where we are today 

And that's a good a place as any 

and it's probably where we're best off anyway 




	E 
It's a long and rugged road 

	D			A 
and we don't now where it's headed 

	E					D-A 
But we know it's going to get us where we're going 

		E 
And when we find what we're looking for 

	D			E 
we'll drop these bags and search no more 

	    A			D		  E	 
'Cuz it's going to feel like heaven when we're home 

	A		   E		     A 
It's going to feel like heaven when we're home 



There's no such thing as perfect, 

and if there is we'll fnd it when we're good and dead 

Trust me I've been looking 

bu tonight I think I'll go and take a bath instead 

And then maybe I'll walk a while 

and feel the earth beneath me 

They say if you stop looking 

it doesn't matter if you find it 

And whose to say that even if I did 

it's what I'm really looking for 



It's a long and rugged road 

and we don't now where it's headed 

But we know it's going to get us where we're going 

And when we find what we're looking for 

we'll drop these bags and search no more 

'Cuz it's going to feel like heaven when we're home
