[Verse 1]
G                    D                G
  I had a lot that I thought I needed but
                       D                   Am
But I'd give it up for you, give you all I got 
     D
It's time that I know it, 
Am        D
   Packed up and I'm going 


[Chorus]
G               D
Back to where I came from 
    Em             A
The place I got my name from 
       C               D*         Em           Em     
Though it won't be the same as it was in those years 
D       C  D          G    D  G D
And I’m    better off here 


[Verse 2]
G                                D           
  There's nothing wrong with the places I've been in 
G                         D
  Nothing better, they're just a little different 
Am     D                   Am    D
   But somethings missing,    it wasn't really living 
G                      D           
  Won't miss the rush,   the complication 
G                    D
I want the hush, the quiet inspiration 
Am         D
   It's my life and I know it 
Am             D
   I'm getting out and I'm going 


[Chorus]
G               D
Back to where I came from 
    Em             A
The place I got my name from 
       C               D*         Em           Em      
Though it won't be the same as it was in those years 
D       C  D          G    D
And I’m    better off here 
C               D*         Em           Em
It can't be the same as it was in those years 
D       C  D          G    G
And I’m    better off here 


[Bridge]
F              Bb
  What did you want me to be 
   C                       G D G G
It won't make a difference 
F            Bb          
  It's not important to me
   C 
It won't make a difference 
G             D                Em
  And you can have your little world 
A                 C         D*         G     D G D
  But I'm finally clear I'm better off here 


[Verse 3]
G               D
  I had a lot I thought that I needed 
G             D       N.C.
  Gave it up, now I'm leaving 
Am         D
   It's my life and I know it
Am             D
   I'm getting out and I'm going 


[Chorus]
G               D
Back to where I came from 
    Em             A
The place I got my name from 
       C               D*         Em           Em 
Though it won't be the same as it was in those years 
D       C  D          G    D
And I’m    better off here 
Em              Em   D     C      C                   
It can't be the same as it was in those years 
D            G    D  G D
  Better off here
