John Mayer - On the way home


Note:

Hello!

So, I heard this song yesterday during a 24 hour stream on John Mayer website and I
couldn't resist to transcribe it! Such a beautiful song and I'm so excited for his 
upcoming album!

It's almost impossible to write down everything that is happening in the song, so I've
stuck with the chords, and the guitar intro.

There aren't many chords but during verse2 the song fills up with alot of notes that
seems (to me) to be "walking around" the D chord. I've written down some variations
in the Chords section, tough I'm just going to write down the same chord progression 
as in the other verses. You are more than welcome to correct my chord names.
I feel like I have no idea what im doing.

The Bridge is possibly the hardest one to get a grip on. Play around with the differentD-chord variations and listen how it sounds.
The intro guitar is quite fast paced and with alot of country hammers and pulloffs. Im going to try to be as accurate as I possibly can. Other than that I wish you the best! Love.

-Verse1-
Dsus2 G5 Dsus2 G5 Dsus2The summer's over this town is closing
G5 Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2They're waving people out of the ocean
G5 Dsus2 G5 Dsus2We have the feeling like we were floating
G5 Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2We never noticed where time was going
G5 Dsus2 G5 Dsus2Do you remember when we first got here?
G5 Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2The days were longer the nights were hot here
G5 Dsus2 G5 Dsus2Now it's September the engine's starting
G5 Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2You're empty-handed and heavy-hearted
-Chorus1-
Dsus2 G5 Dadd9But just remember on the way home (Oooh ooh ooh)
G5That you were never meant to feel alone
Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4It takes a little while but you'd be fine
Dsus4 Asus4 AM Dsus2Another good time coming down the line
-Verse2-
G5 Dsus2 G5 Dsus2You'll go back to love that's waiting
G5 Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2I'll unpack in a rented room
G5 Dsus2 G5 Dsus2How's that life you swear you're hating?
G5 Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2Grass is greener that makes two
-Chorus2-
Dsus2 G5 Dadd9But just remember on the way home (Ooh ooh ooh)
G5That you were never meant to feel alone
Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4Just look me up; get back on the bus
Dsus2 Asus4 AM Dsus2I'll see you next week if you need my trust
-Bridge-
Dsus2Life ain't short, but it sure is small
Dsus2You get forever but nobody at all
Dsus2Life ain't short, but it sure is small
Dsus2You get forever but nobody at all
Dsus2It don't come often and it don't stay long
Dsus2(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh)
-Chorus3-
Dsus2 G5 Dadd9But just remember on the way home (Ooh ooh ooh)
G5That you don't ever have to feel alone
Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4Just stay on the run get off the grid
Dsus4 Asus4 AM Dsus2Hide yourself out like you know that I did
Dsus4 Asus4 Dsus4 Asus4And if you might find that you're running is done
Dsus2 Asus4 AM Dsus2A little bit of Heaven never hurt no one
-Out-Chorus- G5 Dsus2 G5 Dsus2 G5 Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2 -Fine-
