A great song from OMD's 2010 album, "History Of Modern"
Intro: C F Dm G C F Dm G
CF
If all the things you said were right
CF
How come you can't go home tonight
G
You're frightened on your own
F
Scared to be alone
C
In your head
G
Not at home
DmG
And all the things you say and do
DmG
Won't take the fear away from you
CF
And so you're once again tonight
Dm
Just praying for the light
G
When thoughts that haunt you so
C
Will slowly let you go
F
And once again the dread
Dm
Is burning in your head
G
You try but can't let go
C
This pain that kills you so

If all the things you say were true
CF
Why can't you start this game anew
GF
It's nothing that was said, it's only in your head
CG
But the dread, oh God the dread
DmG
And all the things you say and do
DmG
Won't take the fear away from you
CF
And so we're once again tonight
Dm
Just praying for the light
G
When thoughts that haunt you so
C
Will slowly let you go
F
And once again the dread
Dm
Is burning in your head
G
You try but can't let go
C
This pain that kills you so
CF
And so we're once again tonight
Dm
Just praying for the light
G
When thoughts that haunt you so
C
Will slowly let you go
F
And once again the dread
Dm
Is burning in your head
G
You try but can't let go
Am
This pain that kills you so
Coda: Am G F E (to fade)
