A#			
A father waits upon a son
F/A
A mother prays for his return
G7
I just called to see
C
If you still have a place for me
A#
We know that like took us apart
F/A
But you're still within my heart
G7		    C
I go to sleep and feel your spirit next to me
Dm            C/E
I'll make it home again
Dm/F	        D/F#
I pray you'll fall in love again
Gm		Gm7	      F/C	C	
Just say you'll entertain the possibility
Dm		       C/E
I learned enough from my mistakes
Dm/F		D/F#        Gm Gm7
Learned from all I didn't say
G7		    F/C	C
Won't you wait for me

F		   C/E
It may be long to get me there
    Dm		     Cm7	F7	
It feels like I've been everywhere
A#maj7	    A#/C	    F	Fsus4 F
But someday I'll be coming home
		     C/E
Round and round the world will spin
Dm	       Cm7    F7
Oh, the circle never ends
A#maj7		 C		 F  Fsus4 F
So you know that I'll be coming home

We fight to stay alive
But somebody's got to die
It's so strange to me
A new year, a new enemy
Another soldier gone to war
Another story told before
Now it's told again
It seems the wars will never end

But we'll make it home again
Back where we belong again
We're holding on to when
We used to dare to dream
We pray we live to see
Another day in history
Yes, we still believe

Chorus:
It may be long to get me there
It feels like I've been everywhere
But someday I'll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I'll be coming home

Coming home (I'm coming, I'm coming)
Coming home (I'm coming, I'm coming)
(I'm coming, I'm coming)
You know that I'll be coming home
(I'm coming, I'm coming)
Coming home (I'm coming, I'm coming)
I'll be coming (I'm coming, I'm coming)
You know that I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
Won't you lift me?
Won't you pray for me? Yeah
I'll be coming home

Chorus
