              Asus4 
You are coming home 
Asus4 
Are you still alone? 
G                           D             D 
Are you not the same as you used to be? 
 
Asus4 
As the sun grows high 
Asus4 
And you serve your time 
G                            D            D 
Does each day just feel like another lie? 
 
Em 
Now you know 
Em 
Is it just for show? 
Bm                           F#m          F#m 
Just a foolish game that you hide behind? 
 
Em 
Don't forget the nights 
G 
When it all felt right 
Bm                          Em           Em 
Are you not the same as you used to be? 
 
        D  Em  A  F#m 
Used to be 
        D  Em  A  A 
Used to be 
           D D 
 
Asus4 
In an endless night 
Asus4 
Could you feel the fright 
G                            D         D 
Of an age that was and could never be? 
 
Asus4 
So we hold it close 
Asus4 
When we feel the most 
G                             D            D 
Like a love that we could not leave behind 
 
Em 
Turn the wheel 
Em 
To each way we feel 
Bm                         F#m             F#m 
'Til I'm lost and I cannot find you there 
 
Em 
Don't forget the nights 
G 
When it all felt right 
Bm                          Em          Em 
Are you not the same as you used to be? 
 
        D  Em  A  F#m 
Used to be 
        D  Em  A  A 
Used to be 
 
G               D 
Coming home any day now 
    A            G 
Any day now, any day now 
       G        D 
Coming home any day now 
    A            G 
Any day now, any day now 
G               D 
Coming home any day now 
    A            G 
Any day now, any day now
