VERSE

C  C/B Am                    G
For so long I was out in the cold 

      C             C/B Am                   Bm
and I taught myself to believe every story I told

       Em                   Em/D                   C
It was fun hangin' onto the moon, heading into the sun

                      C/B                     G
but it's been too long and now I want to come home


Came so close, to the edge of defeat
But I made my way in the shade, keeping out of the heat
It was fun shooting out at the stars, looking into the sun
But it's been to long,
Now i want to come home

CHORUS

Em  F#m                         B7       Em
Home, where there's nothing but sweet surrender

Am     Em            F    G
To the memories from afar

C   F#m                      Bm         Em
Home, to the place where the truth lies waiting

Am   Em            F  G
we remember who we are

VERSE

For too long, I was out on my own
Every day I spent trying to prove I could make it alone
It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun
But it's been too long,
Now I want to come home

CHORUS (with guitar solo)

VERSE

For so long, I was out in the cold
But I taught myself to believe every story I've told
It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun
But its been too long,
Now I want to come home

                  C  C/B                      G
Yeh it's been too long and now i want to come home

         C   C/B                    C7    G
Been too long and now i want to come home
