-Intro-

Em D C2 G D C2 Em D C2





-Verse 1-

G                  D               C2

You say you want a living sacrifice

                          C

Well I am a burnt offering

                 D 

Crawling off the alter and

C2

Back in to the fire

G                 D

And with my smoke-filled lungs

     C2

I cry out for freedom

G                 D 

While locking and chaining myself

C2

To my rotting desires





-Prechorus 1-

D2(add4)   C         D2(add4)

AND I HATE THE STENCH,

      C  

BUT I SWALLOW THE KEY.

D2(add4)   C                   D2(add4) C

AND WITH IT STUCK IN MY THROAT, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

(C)

CAN YOU HEAR ME





-Chorus-

G          D               C2

I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME

Em         D               C2

I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME, BUT I'M STILL A LONG WAY OFF





G D C2





-Verse 2-

G    D                    C2

I am shelled-shocked, and I have walked

Through the trenches full of tears

G                   D

With the mortars of memory

  C2

Exploding in my burning ears





-Prechorus 2-

D2(add4)              C          D2(add4)

You stripped the trees of Lebanon

               C

And now you're stripping me

D2(add4)       C

Of the bark of false morality

D2(add4)        C

And the bite of selfish greed

(C)

Can you hear me?





-Chorus-

G          D               C2

I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME

Em         D               C2

I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME, BUT I'M STILL A LONG WAY OFF





-Bridge-

Am2         Em     Am2            Em 

WILL YOU RUN TO ME?  WILL YOU COME TO ME?

D

WILL YOU MEET ME, WILL YOU GREET ME,

WILL YOU DRAG ME HOME 'CAUSE I'M STILL A LONG WAY OFF





-Guitar Solo-

G D C2 Em D C2(2X)





-Chorus-

G          D               C2

I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME

Em         D               C2

I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME





-Chorus-

G          D               C2

I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME

Em         D               C2

I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME

I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME
