Hello, I’m In Delaware
INTRO::: Ebm B Abm B x2
VERSE:::
Ebm B
So there goes my life
Abm B
Passing by with every exit sign
Ebm B
It's been so long
Abm B
Sometimes I wonder how I will stay strong
Ebm B
No sleep tonight
Abm B
I'll keep on driving these dark highway lines
Ebm B
And as the moon fades
Abm
One more night gone, only twenty more days
F# Abm B// ///|/// ///|
CHORUS:::
F# Abm
But I will see you again
B
I will see you again
F# Abm B
a long time from now
Turnaround::: Ebm B Abm B x2
VERSE 2:::
And there goes my life
Passing by with every departing flight
And its been so hard
So much time so far apart
And she walks the night
How many hearts will die tonight
And will things have changed
I guess I'll find out in seventeen days
BRIDGE:::
F#/Bb
My body aches
B
and it hurts to sing,
Abm B
and no one is moving
F#/Bb
And I wish that I
B
weren't here tonight,
Abm B
but this is my life

And how safe it is to feel safe

Comin Home
F#m E D
Well I've been down to Georgia,
D E F#m
I've seen the streets in the west,
F#m E D
I've driven down the 90,
D E F#m
Oh hell, I've seen America's best.
F#m E D
I've been through the Rockies,
D E F#m
Hell, I've seen Saskatoon,
F#m E D
I've driven down the Highway 1
D E F#m
Just hopin' that I'd see you soon.
Chorus :
F#m E D
Cuz I'm comin' home
E F#m
I'm comin' home
(x3) *only the last 2 lines
E D
I'm comin' home
F#m E D
Well I've never been to Alaska,
D E F#m
But I can tell you this;
F#m E D
I've been to Lincoln, Nebraska
D E F#m
And hell you know it ain't worth shit.
F#m E D
I've been through Nova Scotia,
D E F#m
Sydney to Halifax,
F#m E D
But I'll never take any pictures

Cuz I'll know I'll just be right back.

But I'd rather wake up beside you
D E F#m
And breathe that old familiar smell.
F#m E D
I never thought you could leave me,
D E F#m
I figured I was the one,
F#m E D
But I understand your sadness,
D E F#m
So I guess I should just hold my tongue.
Chorus :
F#m E D
But I'm comin' home
E F#m
I'm comin' home
(x3) *only the last 2 lines
E D
I'm comin' home

You told me life was a risk,
E D
I just have one last question;
E
Will it be my heart
D
Or will it be his?
Chorus :
F#m
Comin' Home
E D
I'm comin' home
E F#m (Repeat last 2 lines until the song ends)
