Intro:
G# E (x4)
Verse 1:
C#mD#mAE
I watched the sun cut through your bedroom
C#mD#mAE
and make its way across the floor
C#mD#mEA
I drifted off to somewhere and back to where you are
C#mD#mAE
The lights are up, We made it through the bars
Refrain
AE
Like a lost stray, I'm coming home again
AE
Try to fly straight, But every now and then
AE
life becomes grey, And it takes a lot of sin
AE
to feel alive on the streets here at night
Verse 2:
C#mD#mAE
But nothing's ever lost forever
C#mD#mAE
I'll find my way up off the floor
C#mD#mEA
But even on my best days I'm half of who you are
C#mD#mAE
I f**ked it up, and I can't wash away the scars
Refrain:
AE
Like a lost stray, I'm coming home again
AE
Try to fly straight, But every now and then
AE
life becomes grey, And it takes a lot of sin
AE
to feel alive on the streets here at night
Chorus:
AE
I know I won't break, but if you want to take
BE
all I have we'll burn it up in effigy
AE
It's been a tail spin; I'll reap the whirlwind
BC#m
all I have we'll burn it up in effigy
AE
I'll play a new part; I'll make a new start
BE
All I was we'll burn it up in effigy
AEB
It's such a long war, but what I want more is you and me
C#m
The rest can burn in effigy
Break:
G# E (x4)
Repeat Chorus
End on E
