lyrics

Capo 2
Intro
C. D. Em F#/G G (2x)

C. D
And I’ve been sitting with my demons
Em. F#m. G
As I fear to look ahead
I feel frozen but still I push
I refuse to join the dead

C. D
As I face the unknown
G. F#m. Em
I’m aware things could be much worse
C. D. G
As you’re out there confronting our greatest curse

Chorus:
C
When you come home
G
From fighting on the front lines
C
When you come home
D
Wrestling the ghosts we cannot see
C
When you come home
G. F#m. Em
Safely in these arms of mine
C. D. G
When you come home, away from harm, back to me

Verse 2
When you tell me all the stories
Of the things that you’ve seen
I think of life’s uncharted waters
And what this all could mean

As I face the unknown
I have to keep pushing through
As you’re out there, I’ll hold down the fort for you

Chorus
Instrumental verse
Chorus















Chorus

Bridge
As the world’s on fire
You can take refuge here
We can turn away
And confront our fears
I know I’m lost when you’re not home (2x)
