[G] You're coming out!
[C]
Shook [G] my head out of dreams, reality's calling
[C]
The only birds been up all morning
[G] But I've got no notion of moving from where [D] I am
[G] Well my legs won't move, I feel disabled
[C]
I'm on a shelf, an article labeled
[G] Waiting for someone to fetch me from lost [D] and found
You
[C] hear me [G] calling,
[C] you're gonna see me [G] fall
I'm [C] back
[G]
Had my ways with days of sunshine
[C] Life came easy, it all fell in [G] line
But then again, I didn't [D] realize
When [G] you're used to one thing, it's hard to accept another
[C] Like the woman who brought you up, well, she ain't your mother
[G] How do you cope with a thing [D] like that?

You hear me [G] calling,
[C] you're gonna see me [G] fall I'm [C] back

To [G] the folks who brought me up, I'm not ungrateful
[C] Kept the secret from me, they thought it was shameful
[G] It hurt me so to be the last one [D] to know
Maybe [G] someone's out there looking for me
[C] Left on their own, couldn't afford to clothe [G] me
And I, I don't even know [D] my real name I'm [C] back
You hear me [G] calling
[C] I'm back
You'll see [G] me fall
[C] I'm back
