Am
I wait, on the Emerald Isle
F C
For you to come and rescue me
Dm
From every step I can't take
F
Feet don't you ever break
Am G
Drag me over that line
Am
Halfway, around the medicine ball
F C
Is far enough to blow me back
Dm
Like you broke the bank on the ticket
F
Worth every damn nickel
Am G
Well you got me, that time
F C
'Cause I've been on the road one day too long
F C
Can't hear the record for another sad song
F C
Look at all these faces can't all be wrong
G
That's a lot of my heart out there
Am
Did you fly, a million miles
F C
For every single one that I ran
Dm
I don't know which of us is crazier
F
Oh sweet baby
Am G
That's the madness, I desire
Am
And there's a twinkle, in the clifted sky
F C
Been there forever
Dm
And lights the way for the waters
F
The jackals and the lovers
Am G
And the broken street lights
F C
'Cause I've been on the road one day too long
F C
Can't hear the record for another sad song
F C
Look at all these faces can't all be wrong
G
That's a lot of my heart out there

So do we keep running through the motions baby
F C
Knowing that someday is gonna come maybe

When you can't keep your pretty mouth from saying
G
I wanna go home

I wait, on the emerald isle for you to come and rescue me
