[Intro]
/ A / E / D / A / E / D / A / A /

[Verse 1]
A                  E
If I could take my reasons why
    D                  A
And make them sound to you
          E                            D       A
Like they seem to me when I am feeling strong

[Verse 2]
A                 E
If I could have a wish come true
    D                A
I'd bring it home to you
      E                               D       A
How I ache to get my feet back on the ground

[Guitar break]
/ A / E / D / A / E / D / A / A /

[Chorus]
D
When I come home to you again
      A
Can I hold you in my arms?
       D
Will I have a place beside you then
A                    E
Or will my place be gone?

[Verse 3]
A                 E
If only we could read between
    D                  A
The lines that we have drawn
         E                               D      A
Would we find each other waiting helplessly

[Verse 4]
A                E
I only hope that time will last
    D                   A
And this won't take too long
       E                              D     A
And we find each other waiting patiently
