Where a chord is in brackets, it is implied by a couple of open strings, usually B 
and G. It can be missed, but it makes it a bit more interesting.



Verse:

D5   G5  G/f#   E5               A5
In time       I'll return once more

To find the house where I was born


Chorus:

B5              A5      B5      G5        A5               D5 
There you took a photograph of me and my sisters back then

B5              A5      B5 
To celebrate the lies that you made

G5            A5              B5   
You held us and hoped that you'd find

G5             A5          D5
Peace for the very first time

Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
A5         G5            D5
Only the love will remain

All the broken promises 
And dreams that are never fulfilled
Lets celebrate the lives that you made
Go to a place where you'll find
Peace for the very first time
