[Bbm]Thank you for coming home

I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn, I left them here I could have sworn
[Bbm]These are my salad days,
[F#maj7]Slowly being eaten away, Just another play for today
Oh but I'm [Ab]proud of you,but I'm [F]proud of you,
{sot}There's [F#maj7]nothing left to make me feel [C#]small.
[F#maj7]                       [C#]   [C#maj7] [F#]

[Bbm]Gold; [Ebmin7]Glad that you're [Ab]bound to re[Bbm]turn,
There's [Ebmin7]something [Ab]I could have [F#maj7]learned
You're indes[Ab]tructable, [F]always believe i[F#]-n
