Verse 1
[Gadd9] [D] [Gadd9] [D]
When I learned that we had time
[Gadd9] [D] [Gadd9] [D]
to see the world with open minds
[Gadd9] [D] [Gadd9] [D]
I fell short to my surprise
[Gadd9] [D] [Gadd9] [D]
now you're there in that time.

Verse 1
[Gadd9] [D] [Gadd9] [D]
We had plans to move along.
[Gadd9] [D] [Gadd9] [D]
They had looks, and I had songs.
[Gadd9] [D] [Gadd9] [D]
When they laughed, and how it changed the time,
[Gadd9] [D] [Gadd9] [D]
And how every line changed my life.

Now, I know, sure not where you want to be with that angry screach,
[Gadd9] [D]
but you're still beautiful to me.

You know just where you had to go,
and I know it's not with me,
[Gadd9] [D]
so I need you to go.
[Gadd9] [D]
I'll just meet you at home.

Verse 2
[D] [Gadd9] [D]
So hold on to friends. Oh, I have mine.
[Gadd9] [D]
With a little scoop of poob-a-doo
[Gadd9] [D]
best power that have cured my mind.
[Gadd9] [D] [Gadd9] [D]
Now I've seen the river come from it all.
[Gadd9] [D] [Gadd9] [D]
And though Grand Rapids has a way of cutting melodies for new songs.

Bridge
[Bm7] [Aadd9]
I know you got to see a lot to know.
[Gadd9] [Aadd9]
This is the sweetest place in the world.
[Gadd9]
Where puffings are shaped like muffins,
[D] [Gadd9]
we don't mix the candy bowls. We finish it on our plate,
[D]
even when you know it's gotten cold.
[Gadd9] [Aadd9]
We build ramps out of sticks and wait and see what will unfold.
[Gadd9]
Ask for help police to get done.
[Aadd9]
It won't ever feel too bold.
[Gadd9] [Aadd9]
We sing what's on our minds because that's how you will get hurt.
[Gadd9]
Egg nog's always spiked on Christmas,
[Aadd9]
even though that light seems blurred.
[Gadd9]
And you can always come back when you're done.
[Aadd9]
You can always come back when you're done.
[Gadd9]
You can always come back when you're done.
[Aadd9]
You can always come back when you're done.
Outro

No more angry screach. It's beautiful to me.

You know just where you had to go, and I know it's not with me.

So I need you to go. You can always And always come back home.
