Intro Am F C G
Am F
I got a pocket full of shells
C G
And not much of anything else
Am F
I got a locket full of notes
C G
Old melodies, uncounted votes
Am F
And it's been so long since i've seen you
C G
And i've been so gone and out of my mind
Am F
And things they move on, but i just need you
C G
So i still wait for you most every night
F
When are you coming home?
G C
It's so lonely here tonight
Am F
Followed a trail of poison crumbs
C G
We got lost pretending, undone
Am F
Then our blood fell from the clouds
C G
The wind it screamed, the sea it howled
Am F
And every cold, dry morning, crows sing
C G
Of how there's ice forming on the lake
Am F
And somebody called me, said they saw you
C G
Said you were looking older but just the same
F
When are you coming home?
G C
It must be freezing out today
C G Am F
And we'll sing galilee, we'll sing reverie
C G Am F
Dance for the broken, break these chains
C G Am F
We'll sing of wrongs and lies and alibis
C G C
We'll take a chance and start again
C G Am F
We'll take a chance and start again
C G C
We'll take a chance and start again
