G         C9
Well I woke one morning,
           D       C9
found you staring down at me,
G                   C9              Em7     D
you said "I'll take my share now, father please",
    G              C9
and you took your money,
         D        C9
and you took your leave,
G               C9        Em7         D      C9
you drilled my heart and turned your back on me...

        G       C9
And you hit the town,
         D       C9
and you hit the bottle hard,
G          C9            Em7   D           G      C9
you race 'round in your fancy cars and you blow all your money,
    G         C9
on brothels, beds, and bars,
G           C9       Em7    D         C9
before you know your broken times get hard...

D9/F#                    G
I still stand here waiting
         C9               G
with my eyes fixed on the road,
       D9/F#                 G
and I fight back tears and I wonder,
           C9          G   D9/F#
if you're ever coming home,
  Em7                     C9
don't you know son that I love you,
       G                      D9/F#
and I don't care where you've been,
                                  ( G C9 D C9 G C9 Em7 D )
so please come home.

      G             C9
And now you've hit bottom ,
          D     C9
all those open doors have shut,
    G             C9        Em7     D

and you're hungry stomach's tied in knots,
      G                   C9
but I know what you're thinking,
      D           C9
that you troubled me enough,
        G            C9    Em7   D         C9
nothing could ever separate you from my love...

D9/F#               G
I still stand here waiting,
         C9               G
with my eyes fixed on the road,
       D9/F#                 G
and I fight back tears and I wonder,
          C9           G   D9/F#
if you're ever coming home,
Em7                       C9
don't you know son that I love you,
       G                      D
