Tom: C

Intro: C  Am  F  C

C                          Am
Well you're sitting on the barstool
        F                     C
Keeping motionless as you can be
C                     Am
Thinking maybe if you lucky
F                       C                       Am
Life is like T-Rex and stillness will sweep you away
   G          C
To where its safe

C                                  Am
Cause you're feeling like the last person
F                  C
Left on the planet tonight
C                     Am
And your scanning the horizon
        F                        C                            Am
Seeking out sign of life and you pray you're wrong but you're right
    G       C
So hold on tight

C                      Am             F                 C
Cause all that stares back at you are bloodless zombie eyes
C         Am       F             C        Am       F
Why don't come on home with me tonight, alright, alright

         Am                 G                  C                 F
I'm not trying to make you think this is some kind of great big deal
        Am     G             C
I just know exactly how you feel
        Am              G               C             F
I could be the one you reach for in the middle of the night
Am            G                  C     F
Let me be the one who treats you right
Am            G                  C     F
Let me be the one who treats you right

           C         Am
Now I know you never seen me
F                                C
There's no reason for you to pay mine
C                   Am
But I'm asking very nicely
        F                           C                Am
All it takes is one chance to start leaving the dead behind
    G               C
And try out walking life

C                                  Am
What's the worst thing that could happen
F                         C
We find out that we don't fit
C                               Am
But on the flipside we could be just right
    F                                 C                     Am
And sure there's a chance that we'll both and up broken and split
     G               C
But thats my kind of risk

                                                            C
So quit worrying where they'll fall if you should roll the dice
                                  C        Am       F
Why don't you come home with me tonight, alright, alright

         Am                 G                  C                 F
I'm not trying to make you think this is some kind of great big deal

Am            G                  C     F
