[F#] Welcome back home everyone.
[Dm] As you know I'm now dead.
And this video will serve as my last will and testament.
To my three children, [D] I couldn't decide which of you to give the house to, .
as each of you grew up here with me.
So I didn't choose any of you, because as you know each of you hates my guts.
I hate you!.
I hate you!.
Well this is just a simple song, to say what you've done.
I told you about all those fears, and the way they did run.
.
[G] Instead, I've hidden the deed somewhere in the house, and the first of [Em] you to find [G] it, gets everything.
Ready?.
Get set, go!.
[D] .
When I was just nine years old,.
I swear that I dreamt, your face on a football [E] field.
[D] And [E] a kiss [D] that I kept, [G] under my vest.
.
Apart from everything, the heart [D] in my chest.
[Bm] .
[D] Things can really [G] get rough, when you go in and out.
Are you [A] ready?.
[Bm] On your mark, [D] get set, go!.
I could [G] be tough, you like the stuff.
.
[Bm] [D] Could be there's nothing else [G] in our lives, so critical.
.
As this little hole, [D] might open an option though.
No really, darlin' quit.
.
You brought me a great big life, and you gave me a lift.
[Am] Yeah, [G] I'm what you get.
You [A] tell me [G] what you're taught, and you're right for him alone.
When we grow up, [Bm] we'll be really lucky.
[D] Things can really [G] get rough, when you go in and out.
[E] Are you [Bm] ready?.
On your mark, get set, go!.
[D] I'm thinking you gotta [G] be tough, you like the stuff.
.
[Bm] [D] .
Could be there's [G] nothing else in our lives, so critical.
.
As this little hole.
.
[Em] This isn't [Bm] actually a deed to the house.
[Em] I was kidding.
[D] Let's be honest, this [Em] place is full of awful memories for all of us.
[Bm] So I've already sold [G] the estate, and I'm having the house demolished.
Best of luck to [D] all of you.
Love, Dad.
Would this be a simple song, to say what you've done?
.
I told you about all those fears, and the way they run.
You sure [G] must be strong.
Yes, the record crew arrives at 2pm.
When you feel like an ocean, being warmed [D] by the sun.
.
.
[Bm] [D] .
I'll enter [G] your house, I'll go in the dark.
.
[Bm] [D] .
[G] And the axe stroke a spark.
.
[A] [Bm] You [D] wore a charm and a chain that [G] I stole.
Special for you.
.
[A] [Bm] [F#m] Love's [D] such a delicate thing that [G] we do.
With nothing to prove.
[A] [G] Which I never knew.
.
[D] .
