[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C Em
Fog lifts from the harbor, dawn goes down to day
Am F
An agent crests the shadows of the nearby alleyway
C Em
Piles of broken bricks, sign posts on the path
Am F
Every moment points towards the aftermath
Yeah
[Interlude]
C Dm F (x2)
[Verse 2]
C Em
Sailors straggle back from their nights out on the town
Am F
Hopeless urchins from the city gather round
C Em
Spies from imperial China wash in with the tide
Am F
Every battle heads towards surrender on both sides
[Chorus]
C Am
And I am coming home to you
F C G
With my own blood in my mouth
C Am
And I am coming home to you
F G C
If it’s the last thing that I do
[Interlude]
C Dm F (x2)
[Verse 3]
C Em
Bells ring in the tower, wolves howl in the hills
Am F
Chalk marks show up on a few high windowsills
C Em
And a rabbit gives up somewhere, and a dozen hawks descend
Am F
Every moment leads toward its own sad end
Yeah
[Interlude]
C Dm F (x2)
[Verse 4]
C Em
Ships loosed from their mornings capsize and then they’re gone
Am F
Sailors with no captains watch awhile and then move on
C Em
And an agent crests the shadows and I head in her direction
Am F
All roads lead toward the same blocked intersection
[Chorus]
C Am
And I am coming home to you
F C G
With my own blood in my mouth
C Am
And I am coming home to you
F G C
If it’s the last thing that I do
