Em D/F# Come home early after class G C Don't be hanging round the back of the schoolyard Em D/F# i've been called up by your teacher G C She says she can't even reach you cause you're so far You've been talking with your fists We didn't raise you up like this, now did we? There've been changes in this house Things you don't know about in this family Am C it don't make sense, but nevertheless G D you gotta believe us, it's all for the best Am it don't make sense C the way things go D son you should know Chorus: Em D G sometimes moms and dads fall out of love Em D G sometimes two homes are better than one Em D some things you can't tell your sister G 'cause she's still too young Am C yeah you'll understand Em D G C when you love someone. There ain't no one here to blame And nothing's going to change with your old friends Your room will stay the same 'Cause you'll only be away on the weekends It don't make sense but nevertheless You gotta believe us, it's all for the best It don't make sense It don't add up But we'll always love you no matter what Chorus Come home early after class Don't be hanging 'round the back of the schoolyard And if we're crying on the couch Don't let it freak you out It's just been so hard Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm C D Em F# G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
