    D                G                 A
    D                G                 A

    D                G                 A
Dust falls on the empty halls of my old school
          D                      G           A
Where the memories fade like the casualty, a forgotten fool
    D             G                   A
Now wide-eyed has become the blind of spoken rule
   D                         A
As equal only deep is now the word
    G                               A
The lesson's not the answer you once heard

                 D                 A           G
"Don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down"
             D                  A               G
She said, "I picked you up each time before you hit the ground
             D           A                   G
Your selfish face is now erased when someone mentions you
        D                            A
And the darkness that you left is overstepped aside
     G                           A
Will disappear in clouds, the sun arrives

           D     G     A                               D      G       A
Within a mile of home              within a mile of home"

   D            G            A
Oh worry, oh my worry has it been that long?
    D                G               A
The whistle keeps on blowing but the chill's all gone
          D              G                      A
His empty frame cannot explain, there's nothing left inside
   D                     A
So sing to me a song from yesterday
     G                                     A
When laughter filled the tears that we now make

                 D                 A           G
"Don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down"
             D                  A               G
She said, "I picked you up each time before you hit the ground
             D            A                  G
Your selfish face is now erased when someone mentions you
   D                          A
If only you had seen what I now see
    G                                   A
And turned the corner where you would of been

           D  G   A                                     D  G    A
Within a mile of home              within a mile of home"
