       F#
We started in October
                    G#m     D#m      C#
Drowned our sins in cold November rain
F#
Thoughts all through December
                   G#m           D#m
Prayed for snow to cover up the pain
                    B            C#
Been so long under winter's night
                G#
Waiting for the sun
                B     A#
Watching the horizon

Chorus:
D#m          F#              B    A#
Everybody's coming home for summer
D#m              F#             B A#
Battlefields a thousand miles away
D#m           F#
What a feeling, taste the freedom
G#
There with every bite
B             Bm      F# G#m D#m
Finally we're coming home

We shadow-boxed the enemy
Swing until we extradite our fears
Their backed into a corner
Ring the bell, we shed our blood and tears
Like hibernating sun-rays, hoping for the sun
Watching the horizon

Chorus

G#m
Oh, we suffered in silence
B
Through storms and through violence
      D#m      C#
We stayed our way
     G#m
The waves have subsided
  B
Clouds have divided
D#m     F#
(I found)
G#m
found a reason to survive
 B
Found the will to stay alive
A#                                   D#m
That will be the last thing that we do
            G#
Heading for summer
           Bm
Back home for summer

Chorus:
Everybody's coming home for summer
(everybody)
But still feels a thousand miles away
What a feeling, (what a feeling)
Taste the freedom (freedom)
There with every bite
Finally we're coming home
Oh, we're coming home
Oh, I'm coming home
