[Verse]
D G A
Dust falls on the empty halls of my old school
D G A
Where the memories fade like the casualty, a forgotten fool
D G A
Now wide-eyed has become the blind of spoken rule
Bm G
As equal only deep is now the word
D A
The lesson's not the answer you once heard
[Chorus]
D A G
"Don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down"
D A G
She said, "I picked you up each time before you hit the ground
D A G
Your selfish face is now erased when someone mentions you
Bm G
And the darkness that you left is overstepped aside
D A
Will disappear in clouds, the sun arrives
[Post-Chorus]
N.C. D G A A D G A A
Within a mile of home within a mile of home"
[Verse]
D G A
Oh worry, oh my worry has it been that long?
D G A
The whistle keeps on blowing but the chill's all gone
D G A
His empty frame cannot explain, there's nothing left inside
Bm G
So sing to me a song from yesterday
D A
When laughter filled the tears that we now make
[Chorus]
D A G
"Don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down"
D A G
She said, "I picked you up each time before you hit the ground
D A G
Your selfish face is now erased when someone mentions you
Bm G
If only you had seen what I now see
D A
And turned the corner where you would of been
[Post-Chorus]
N.C. D G A A D G A A
Within a mile of home within a mile of home"

F Am G G
So sing to me, sing me a song, a song from yesterday
F Am G G
And when the laughter turned these tears before the promises, then they'll slip away
[Final-Chorus]
F Am G G
Don't turn your back on me, dont't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down
F Am G G
Don't turn your back on me, dont't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down
F Am G G
We are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of home
F Am G G
We are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of home
F Am G G
We are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of home
F Am G G
We are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of home
