[Intro]
Am  Dm  F  Em  Am  Dm
F  Em
    Let's go!
 
 
[Verse 1]
         Am
My first love was a chick from the sticks named Geneva
       Dm
Had to take the 88 upstate just to see her
   F
My mother never liked her, my father didn't either
      E               G
After 22 years, I got eager and had to leave her
Am
Now I'm realizing how much I really need her
    Dm
But something told me follow my heart and head eastwards
       F
That's when I met Brooklyn, but Brooklyn was a cheater
    E
The second I turned my back, Jay and Weezy tag-teamed her
Am
So I started packing, she asked me "what happened?"
         Dm
Told her I was leavin' for her older sister Manhattan
F
Manhattan was into rap, so we started chit-chatting
            C
And she was Chinese, Italian, Black and a quarter Latin
Am
Super high maintenance and way too into fashion
       Dm
Didn't even tell her piece and left her number on a napkin
F
Damn, but back then was back then
E
Now I heard she went Hollywood and began acting
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                        Dm
Oh, I've been looking for love
                 F
In all the wrong places
    E
Oh, somebody take me home
Am                   Dm
I've been falling in love
                   F
With all the wrong faces
    Em               Am
Oh, somebody take me home
Am
Please take me home
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am
And after Manhattan, I was acting silly
Dm
Messing with a stick body jewel named Philly
F
But that didn't work out too great
        E
I'm vegetarian and all she ate was cheese steak
          Am
I went to Baltimore for Mary and almost got married, man
    Dm
But she was self-centered, always stuck in Mary Land
F
I knew a slim thing named Virginia
           E                               C
I swear to God her body's smoking, but she kept gettin thinner
Am
And I'll never forget my first trissie
       Dm
In the bins with the Carolina Twins gettin' busy
F
I know they miss me but I had to leave early
F
On the 85 doin 85 ridin' dirty
       Am
And my Georgia piece Savanna
Am
Used to stay in Atlanta
  Dm
Accent so thick, I couldn't even understand her
F
And that's when I realized
       E
I damn near ran through the whole I-95
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                        Dm
Oh, I've been looking for love
                 F
In all the wrong places
    E
Oh, somebody take me home
Am                   Dm
I've been falling in love
                   F
With all the wrong faces
    Em               Am
Oh, somebody take me home
Am
Please take me home
 
 
[Verse 3]
Dm
Yeah, then I met Miami, she was spanish
Em
Miami te amo, me llamo Travie
Am
She could tell that I wasn't bilingual
Am
I don't know todito, but I know un poquito
Dm
We can hit South Beach and drink mojitos
Am
And maybe you can introduce me to your people
Am
Ha, yo no voy pa' tra
Am
My first love keep on calling
Am
You no voy pa' ya
Dm
I think I finally found where imma stay
   D
On I-95
             E
But never forget the 88, no
 
[Chorus]
Am                        Dm
Oh, I've been looking for love
                 F
In all the wrong places
    E
Oh, somebody take me home
Am                   Dm
I've been falling in love
                   F
With all the wrong faces
    Em               Am
Oh, somebody take me home
               Dm
Please take me home
