_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] And I've [C] decided no one's know [G] [D] anything [C]
about where [G] I'm going
[C] I can't even [D] talk [G] to my friend anymore
[C] Not [G] blaming [D] [C] anyone for the mess [G] I've gotten in
[C] _ [D] I'm only frightened [C] by the things [G] that I've done
_ [Am] _ _ _
[Em] Keep me safe [D] from [Am] myself _
I [Em] can't do [G] it without [Am] your help
Your [Em] love's the finest [D] thing [G] I've ever known
[C] _
_ [D] _ [C] I want [G] to come [C] _
[D] home
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [D] _ _ [G] Thinking _ [C] back when I was young
[D] You kept me [C] safe from [G] everything
Set me [C] straight when I went [D] wrong
Raised me [C] to respect [G] myself
I can [C] offer no [D] excuse for this [G] senseless self-abuse
[C] All the pain [D] that I've caused you to [G] feel
When I hurt [C] myself it hurts you [D] more
And that's what [C] hurts me most of [G] all
You [C] shouldn't [D] go on [C] hurting [Am] anymore _
Keep [Em] me safe [D] from myself
[Am] I _ [Em] can't do it [D] without your [G] help
Your [Bm] love's the finest thing [Em] I've ever known
[C] I [G] want to come [C] _
_ [D] home
[G] _ _ I _
_ [D] _ _ [C] want [G] to come [C]
home
[G] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ I _ _ _ [C] want [G] to come [C]
[G] home
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] I _ [Em] _ [C] want [G] to come [Bm]
home
[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [Bm] _
_ [Em] _ [C] Why won't you [G] come _ [Bm]
home?
[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _
[Em] Keep me safe [D] for myself
[Am] I _
[Em] can't do it [D] without your [G] _ help
Your [Bm] love's the finest thing [Cm] I've ever known
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G]
Take me now, I shall to [D] be
For there's nothing [C] left of me
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
