Verse 1: 
(dampen chords with heel of hand) 
 
D5                G5                    D5            G5 
Surely not the place to make a movie, 
D5                G5            A5       G5 
Surely not the time to begin again,  
          D5          G5                   D5            G5 
but I'm head'n down to the town of shadows tonight 
       D5           G5             A5         G5  (full strumming)     
Its not paradise but I'm  Home again 
D5      G5      D5      G5 
 
         D5                G5                   D5              G5 
Well I'm nervous and drifting like a stranger 
        D5          G5               A5              G5 
But I've been around here many times before 
          D5                  G5               D5              G5 
And these disconnected memories are in danger 
D5        G5                 A5            G5 
Losing you scares me right to the core 
 
BRIDGE 1: 
         B5                  E5                C5                 G5 
Well the last thing you said to me cut close to the bone, 
       B5               E5                       C5      G5 
And I carried it inside of me like some heavy stone 
         C5               G5 
Well I pray you're alone 
 
CHORUS: 
            D5        G5         D5            G5 
And you're home___________ again_______ 
             D5        G5         A5           G5 
Yea you're home___________ again______ 
 
Verse 2: 
 
I remember perfect open spaces, 

I remember running just to meet you there 

But I see the desperation in their faces 

People whisper, there's fear in the air 
 
Bridge 2: 
 
Laying low is easy there's no worries at all 

But it takes a little change to make a telephone call 

When the writing's on the wall 
 
CHORUS 
 
 * BRIDGE II *  different from other bridge (I think its correct) 
B5  *                                               B5 
Well I've paid for all my troubles and I've risen to the top 
          G5                   A5            G5 
But I'm still living in the land time forgot 
B5  *                         B5 
I'm the kind who never knew when to stop 
      G5                  A5            G5 
But change is in the wind ready or not 
 
 
INTRO Line 1 
 
Verse 3: 
(dampen chords) 
There's a demolition derby in the garden 
They say the past does'nt matter any more 
Well the future is a secret closely guarded 
No amount of faith could ever even the score  
                                    (full strumming) 
 
Bridge 3: 
Sudden death is soon to be the biggest game in town 
The only antedote to all the grief that's going down 
There's no 'when you were here' keeps me around  
well my feet are on the ground 
 
*(NB the extra line of the bridge here just repeats the chords of the  
previous line) 
 
CHORUS (times 3) and end.
