In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping
I remember all the things I said,
Well I've broken all the promises
I said I would be keeping,
They're gone, like leaves they fell,
For it's so hard when you�re far away,
All I needed was a shoulder I could cry on,
Now these broken dreams have woken me,
My love, will you carry me home.
 
EEsus4        B (x2444x@1)Or will you treat me like some traveller

        E (022100@1)                         F#mOh (244222@1)and just when she reaches the part
                        E/G# (143121@4)             AWhen (x02220@1)she's supposed to comfort his broken heart

Oh when I left I believed that nothing would go wrong
I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story,
Take me back, my love, I need you now,
Come back and carry me home,
