   A               Bm
A pint set on the piano
 A              Bm
By the open window
     E
Your arm around my shoulder
     D              A
One song after another

A church to praise the good times
And shelter from the bad times
And when our run came to an end
Felt like I'd lost my best friend

Chorus:
       A                   E
For a moment I was dreaming
E7              A
We were just beginning
         D                    A
Thought finally I've come home
 D                    A
Finally I've come home

Officer, let me explain
I lost something I love today
Yeah, I know what it looks like
A rich kid with a good life

Now I know you're too young to
Have done things you can't undo
To rake over your dreams
And know this is what they've come to

Chorus:
   A                       E
I woke up in a strange room
                      A
Time to start again now
           D                     A
I want to help you find a way through
             Bm                    E
You're just meant to guess it somehow

       A                   E/G#
For a moment I was dreaming
 E                    F#m
We were just beginning
         D                    A/C#
Thought finally I've come home
 D                     A
Finally I've come home
