G                 D7            G 
What are we doing in this place alone 

                   D7                 G 
Is our desire to relive our past this strong 

    C                                G                        C 
The love we knew in the past is gone but our weakness lingers on 

         G               D7                G 
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong 


C 
Long ago we let the flame of love burn out of control 

                                                       D7 
Now we have no reason to reach for love that has grown cold 

G                                      G7             C 
If we live our past in the present our future will be gone 

         G               D7                G 
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong 


                            D7             G 
Lined with temptation we’ve raced into the past 

                       D7                           G 
On a road too small to let the past and the present pass 

       C                               G              C 
Are we going too fast to turn back and leave the past alone 

         G               D7                G 
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong 


C 
Long ago we let the flame of love burn out of control 

                                                       D7 
Now we have no reason to reach for love that has grown cold 

G                                      G7             C 
If we live our past in the present our future will be gone 

         G               D7                G 
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong 


C        G               D7                G 
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong
