Am                        F 
I got a pocket full of shells 
        C               G 
And not much of anything else 
Am                      F 
I got a locket full of notes 
    C                    G 
Old melodies, uncounted votes 

              Am                 F 
And it's been so long since i've seen you 
              C                      G 
And i've been so gone and out of my mind 
               Am                  F 
And things they move on, but i just need you 
          C                         G 
So i still wait for you most every night 

      F 
When are you coming home? 
        G                  C 
It's so lonely here tonight... 

Am                          F 
Followed a trail of poison crumbs 
       C                    G 
We got lost pretending, undone 
Am                              F 
Then our blood fell from the clouds 
             C                    G 
The wind it screamed, the sea it howled 
           Am                F 
And every cold, dry morning, crows sing 
              C                    G 
Of how there's ice forming on the lake 
            Am                    F 
And somebody called me, said they saw you 
             C                          G 
Said you were looking older but just the same 

             F 
When are you coming home? 
           G               C 
It must be freezing out today ... 

              Am                  F 
And we'll sing galilee, we'll sing reverie 
            C                      G 
Dance for the broken, break these chains 
           Am                     F 
We'll sing of wrongs and lies and alibis 
            C                  G 
We'll take a chance and start again 

         F              G       C 
We'll take a chance and start again 
        F              G       C 
We'll take a chance and start again
