[Am] [G] [Am] [G] [Am] [Am]
I have [Am]come back to you broken
take me [G]home
And my [Am]body bears this trouble
take me [G]home
[G]Take me back to my beginning
[G]Before the hell of night set in
[G]And I came to this border
take me [Am]home
I have [Am]toured the endless starlight
take me [G]home
I have [Am]shattered under midnight
take me [G]home
[G]There are no vultures in this clearing
[G]Except the ones who brought me here
[G]And I'll no longer feed them
take me [Am]home
[F]Kingdom come, their will was done
And [Am]now the earth is far away
from [G]any kind of heaven
[F]Hallowed be these frozen fields
And [Am]every single one of us
Still [G]left in want of mercy
Take us [F]home
[Am] [G] [Am] [G] [G] [G] [G] [Am]
Now the [Am]bells stand still and hollow
take me [G]home
And no [Am]one has come to mourn me
take me [G]home
[G]Find me where I close my eyes
[G]Beneath this sky of powerlines
[G]And let me see us clearly
take me [Am]home
[F]Kingdom come, their will was done
And [Am]now the earth is far away
from [G]any kind of heaven
[F]Hallowed be these frozen fields
And [Am]every single one of us
still [G]left in want of mercy
Take us [F]home
