G                              C 
You may cross the world all by yourself, 
G                               Am                 D 
you tell me that everything you want is somewhere else, 
        G 
If you make it back around, 
         Cadd9 
and your shoes are all worn down, 
C                        D            G 
I’ll be waiting for you when you come home, 

Cadd9 
Singing ooh, 
       G                D 
If you need some safer ground, 
Cadd9 
Ooh, 
            G           D 
I hope you turn your ship around, 
                C               D              G

You may say he’s everything you wanted for yourself, 
G 
He may be perfect now, 
Cadd9 
But I swear someday he’ll walk out, 
 C                           D              G 
And I’ll be waiting for you when you come home,

Singing ooh, 
       G                D 
If you need some safer ground, 
Cadd9 
Ooh, 
            G           D 
I hope you turn your ship around, 
                C               D              G 
'Cos I'll be waiting for you when you come home.
