Verse 
A 
Can't you see I'm holding your flag 
A 
The one that you left on the ground 
     Em7                         A 
Well is the world too heavy for you 
      Em7                          D 
If it makes you feel better, I'll carry it, too 
A 
No one's gonna stand in your light 
A 
Impressions are easy to fight 
      Em7                    A 
But until you turn to me and say 
          Em7             D 
You don't need anyone to carry the weight, I will stay 

Chorus

Bring it on home to me 
Bm  A  D 
Ab-il-ene 
Bm       D           A 
Isn't it good to be free 

A 
Can't you see I'm wearing your shirt 
A 
The one with the heart on the sleeves 
    Em7                           A 
Now everyone can see you've been hurt 
       Em7              D 
Oh but honey don't give up on me 
A 
When you gonna make up your mind 
A 
When you gonna get out of bed 
     Em7                    A 
Well everyday you're gonna find 
        Em7         D 
Broken promises are no worse than words never said

Bm  A  E 
Ab-il-ene

Bring it on home to me 
Bm  A  D 
Ab-il-ene 
              C#m       Bm    E 
You're always givin' it all away 
         D               C#m            Bm        E 
Then you want someone to come along and save the day 
                          A 
But you make it much too hard
