Intro:

Emaj7   A

Verse:

Emaj7
Such a magic time of year
Emaj7
Scents of spring as jasmine fills the air
Am                                F
Here comes that feeling I've been waiting for this day
Emaj7
for so long

Emaj7
Wraps me up and sends me home
Emaj7
Acorn xxxx and matchbox cars and marbles
Am                                     F
Hiding under the bed 'cause dad's come home from work
F                        Am
or your teacher's on the phone


Chorus:
Am      C      Am
Dancing shadows compete
        C            Am
for the light on the street
          C          Am
Caught in memories or dreams
            G                 F
there's no feeling like going home

Verse:
Emaj7
Spring is just around the bend
Emaj7
Only need one scent to bring it back again
Am                       F                                     Emaj7
But even sunflowers look skywards till their heads can take no more

Emaj7
It took a life to get me here
Emaj7
I'd swap it all for matchbox cars and marbles.

Am   F


Chorus:
Am      C      Am
Dancing shadows compete
        C            Am
for the light on the street
          C          Am
Caught in memories or dreams 
            G                 F
there's no feeling like going home

Emaj7   A  (to end)
