Verse 1:
(dampen chords with heel of hand)
D G D G
Surely not the place to make a movie,
D G A G
Surely not the time to begin again,
D G D G
but I'm head'n down to the town of shadows tonight
D G A G (full strumming)
Its not paradise but I'm Home again
D G D G
D G D G
Well I'm nervous and drifting like a stranger
D G A G
But I've been around here many times before
D G D G
And these disconnected memories are in danger
D G A G
Losing you scares me right to the core
BRIDGE 1:
Bm Em C G
Well the last thing you said to me cut close to the bone,
Bm Em C G
And I carried it inside of me like some heavy stone
C G
Well I pray you're alone
CHORUS:
D G D G
And you're home___________ again_______
D G A G
Yea you're home___________ again______
Verse 2:
I remember perfect open spaces,
I remember running just to meet you there
But I see the desperation in their faces
People whisper, there's fear in the air
Bridge 2:
Laying low is easy there's no worries at all
But it takes a little change to make a telephone call
When the writing's on the wall
CHORUS
*BRIDGE II* different from other bridge (I think its correct)
B* Bm
Well I've paid for all my troubles and I've risen to the top
G/F# A G
But I'm still living in the land time forgot
B* Bm
I'm the kind who never knew when to stop
G/F# A G
But change is in the wind ready or not
INTRO Line 1
Verse 3:
(dampen chords)
There's a demolition derby in the garden
They say the past does'nt matter any more
Well the future is a secret closely guarded
No amount of faith could ever even the score
(full strumming)
Bridge 3:
Sudden death is soon to be the biggest game in town
The only antedote to all the grief that's going down
There's no 'when you were here' keeps me around
well my feet are on the ground
*(NB the extra line of the bridge here just repeats the chords of the
previous line)
CHORUS (times 3) and end.
