Tom: C
Am7
Tell him this is getting harder
C/B C
In this house the walls are closing in
Am7
Tell him to recover faster
C/B C
And make sure they are looking after him
[Verse 2]
Am7
Tell him that this loneliness
C/B C
Is getting worse since he left, and listen
Am7
Tell him this is just a scare
C/B C
He’s got to fight, this is unfair, I miss him
[Chorus]
F G
Come back, let’s play again
C C/B Am
I know I’m gonna lose but I don’t care, it’s just a game
F G
Come back, you gotta share
C C/B Am
More stories with our grandkids, they are young they gotta learn
F G C Am
You know your smiles can cure me when I’m sore
F G C
I need them and I need your hugs once more
[Verse 3]
Am7
With my grandma’s desperate message
C/B C
I pick up dad and I drive through the rain
Am7
As I go inside, I have a presage
C/B C
but I can’t waste time, I am almost there
[Verse 4]
Am7
Then a nurse reads in my face
C/B C
That I don’t know, she holds her breath and speechless
Am7
She breaks the news, we lost the race
C/B C
but offers us to see him from a distance
[Chorus]
F G
Come back, let’s play again
C C/B Am
I know I’m gonna lose but I don’t care, it’s just a game
F G
Come back, you gotta share
C C/B Am
More stories with our grandkids, they are young they gotta learn
F G C Am
You know your smiles can cure me when I’m sore
F G C
I need them and I need your hugs once more
[Bridge]
F G
Crying, barely hanging on
C C/B Am
My father says that hearing is the last sense to be gone
F G
I look for the message in my phone
C C/B Am
From my grandma isolated, quaranteening on her own
F G C Am
I play it for him, while she doesn’t know
F G C
He’s listening but he won’t come back home
[Chorus]
F G
Come back, let’s play again
C C/B Am
I know I’m gonna lose but I don’t care, it’s just a game
F G
Come back, you gotta share
C C/B Am
More stories with our grandkids, they are young they gotta learn
F G C Am
You know your smiles can cure me when I’m sore
F G C
I need them and I need your hugs once more
