Verse 1:
G 
 Take me back home 
        D                           Am7 
I feel like I been away for way too long 
                               Am 
I seen the world I sang these songs 
                                   G 
I changed so much since I've been gone 

 G 
Sometimes I miss who I was those days 
 D 
There's so much that I didn't know 
         Am                  Am7 
There was  you and me those bright green eyes 
           C 
And those old country roads 


 G 
Dear West Virginia 
     D 
You been so good to me 
          Am7 
I'm sorry if I had to leave 
            C 
But I just had to chase those dreams 

 G 
Dear West Virginia 
       D 
I hope I don't make you mine 
         Am               Am7 
But California breaks my heart 
        C 
I just hope you'll take me back 


Verse 2:
G                                            D 
I was supposed to be a big ol' star like my friends but it hasn't come true 
     Am                                   C 
Now I lie awake and think about every mistake I can't undo 

   G                                      D 
Oh, traded in my heart for a couple late nights and a Hollywood life 
Am        Am7                          C 
Why do I always have to try to be the guy that strangers can like 

         G 
I'm not who I set out to be 
            D 
I'm not the kid who used to dream 
                        Am7 
All these lessons in my life didn't come too cheap 
                  C                    G 
California never really felt like me (really felt like me) 


 G                                D

I just hope you'll take me back 

          Em    D                     G       C 
You will always be the one that got away from me 
          Em             G           D    N.C. 
You will always be where I found my hopes and my dreams
