5  6 -6  6   5  -4  4  -4   5    5
I am going back to my sister's house
   -4        -4   4   -4  4  3  -2
Through the mountains to the place
  5   6  -6  6  6    5   4 -4  5  5
Where I know I can take my weary soul
 4    -4  5 -4  4 -4  4   4
and smile at a familiar face
 
 5   6    6    5   6   -6  -6  -6   -7   -6   6  5  6  6
And the roof that I'm standing on feels like an airplane
 5 6    -6   -6 -6 -7  -6  6  5  6  6
City streets below me moving far away
  4  6  -5  -5   -5   5 -5   5   -4
What I wouldn't give to be there now
  4   -5  -5  -5  5  -5  5  -4
I'll find my way to you somehow
 
(Chorus)
-4   4  5  6  -6  6   5   4  -4    5    5
So give me a blanket for my cold cold heart
 5    4   5     6   -6    6   -4
You know that I've travelled far
 -4   4    5   6  -6 6 5 4   -4   5    5
And I'll give you  back  a warm warm hide
 5  -5   -5   5   -4    -5  5  4
to keep with you when we're apart
 
  4   5 6 -6, -6 6 5, -5 -5 -5  5  4
We're family, family, pa ra ta ta dum
  4   5 6 -6, -6 6 5, -5 -5 -5  5  4
We're family, family, pa ra ta ta dum
 
  4  5   6    -6   6    5    -4    4   -4    5    5
Sure I spent one long year since I've been down here
 -4  5  -4 4  -4   4  3 -2
Running in a concrete race
  5    6  -6  6   5   4   -4   5  5
where I'm lonely but far from alone
 4    -4  5   -4 4  -4  4   4
Just longing for a slower pace
 
 5   6    6    5   6   -6  -6  -6   -7   -6  6   5    6   6
And the roof that I'm standing on won't hide me from the rain
 5  6  -6   -6 -6   -7   -6  6   5  6  6
but I know that I  will see you all again
  4  6  -5  -5   -5  5  -5   5    -4
What I wouldn't give to be there now
  4   -5  -5  -5  5  -5   5  -4
I'll find my way to you somehow
 
(Chorus)


  4   5 6 -6, -6 6 5, -5 -5 -5  5  4
We're family, family, pa ra ta ta dum
  4   5 6 -6, -6 6 5, -5 -5 -5  5  4
We're family, family, pa ra ta ta dum

(Chorus)


  4   5 6 -6, -6 6 5, -5 -5 -5  5  4
We're family, family, pa ra ta ta dum
  4   5 6 -6, -6 6 5, -5 -5 -5  5  4
We're family, family, pa ra ta ta dum
