                    G      Cadd9
Well I drunk myself dumb
               G           Cadd9
For damn near half my life

                  G
Well I have been knocked down
Em                      Cadd9
Kicked around 'till the pain
                             D
Cut through my veins like a knife


                  G          Cadd9
There's one thing I've said
                G               Cadd9
though I'm not known to be wise
                     G
when I hear someone crying out
Em           Cadd9           
lemmenting, I just look them straight
        D
in the eyes and say

          Cadd9        D
Oh you're not the only one
          G    Em       Cadd9
who ever came home from nothing, Lord
        
           Cadd9                    D
And you're not, you're not the only one
       Em     D
who returned (wo-o-oh)
