Intro: E5   C#m7   Asus2   Bsus4  2X

  [ E5   C#m7   Bsus4   Asus2 ]
I open my lungs dear, 
I sing this song at funerals, no rush.
These lyrics heard a thousand times, just plush.
A baby boy you've held so tightly, this pain it visits almost nightly.
Missing hotel beds I feel your touch.

  [ E5    C#m7    Asus2   Bsus4 ]
I will await dear, 
A patient of eternity, my crush.
A universal still, No rust.
No dust will ever grow on this frame, 
One million years I will say your name.
I love you more than I can ever scream.

  [ E5   EM7no3rd   E2/Ab   Asus2 ]
Booked our flight those years ago, 
I said I love you as I left you.
'Grets still haunt my hollow head, 
I promised you I will see you
  [ E5 C#m7 Asus2   Bsus4 ]
again.

Again.

  [ E5   C#m7   Asus2   Bsus4 ]
I sit here and smile dear, 
I smile because I think of you, I blush.
These bleeding hollow dials, this fuss.
Fuss is made of miles and travels when roadways are but stones and gravel.
A bleeding heart can conquer every crutch.


  [ E5   EM7no3rd   E2/Ab   Asus2 ]
Booked our flight those years ago, 
You said you loved me as you left me.
'Grets still haunt your saddened head but I promised you I will see you.
Booked our flight those years ago, 
I said I loved you and I left you.
'Grets no longer in my head, 
But I promised you and now I'm home
  [ E5   C#m7   Asus2   Bsus4 ]
 again, again, again, again, again, again.

I'm home again

End on E5
