D#                  A#m
Lights go out and I can’t be saved,
                       Fm7
Tides that I tried to swim against.
D#            A#m
Put me down upon my knees,
             Fm7
Oh, I beg, I beg and plead. Singing;

Come out with things unsaid.
Shoot, an apple off my head.
And the trouble that can’t be named.
The tiger’s waiting to be tamed. Singing

Chorus:
  D# A#m Fm D# A#m Fm
     You are. You are.

Confusion that never stops,
Closing walls and ticking clocks.
Gonna come back and take you home,
I could not stop the tune I know, singing.

Come out upon my seas,
Cursed missed opportunities.
Am I a part of the cure?
Or am I part of the disease, singing…

Chorus:
     You are. You are.
     You are. You are.

  D# A#m7 Fm
     You are
  D# A#m7 Fm
     You are

F#           C#      G# F#
Nothing else compares.
                    C#      G#  F#
Oh, no nothing else compares.
                 C#
Oh, nothing else compares.

Chorus:
  D# A#m7 Fm
     You are
  D# A#m7 Fm
     You are

D#    A#m7                  Fm
Home, home where I want to go.
Home, home where I want to go.
Home, home where I want to go.
Home, home where I want to go.
