D                    C
Sleepless nights and endless days
    G                  C
And all I do is promise to change my ways
D                           C
Leave the lights on, you know I'll pretend you're
    G
on you're way
D                               C
You used to say that there's a time we all
            G
deserve to lose our minds
      D                     C               G C
So I lost my mind now I'm ready to find my way

Chorus:
      D
Back home
    C
Today
      G
To stay
     C                 D
The way you wished I would
        C
And I swear
     G
To stay
     C        G       D
The way you wished I would

I don't know if I'm gonna have to redesign my mind
But tonight, I made a wish and I sure hope
that it comes true
'Cause it's been too long without you,
it's been too long

Chorus:
Come home today to stay
The way you wished I would
And I swear to stay
The way I wish you would

     A         Bm            G
And even if I left it all behind
A           Bm             G
There'd be reason to come back
    A             Bm              G
And even though I left you far behind
  A                    Bm                 C
I always thought that you'd come here to find me
 C
Come find me

I don't know if I can wait this long
To be what I used to be
I don't think I can wait much longer for the tide
To come back to me
Come back to me

Chorus:
Back home today to stay
The way I wish you would
And I swear to stay
The way I wish you would

The way I wished you would
I swear to stay
The way I wish you would
Come home to stay, yeah, yeah
