Am7
Tell him this is getting harder
C/B                                   C
In this house the walls are closing in
Am7
Tell him to recover faster
C/B                                   C
And make sure they are looking after him

[Verse 2]
Am7
Tell him that this loneliness
   C/B                              C
Is getting worse since he left, and listen
Am7
Tell him this is just a scare
   C/B                                  C
He’s got to fight, this is unfair, I miss him

[Chorus]
F                         G
Come back, let’s play again
                   C              C/B                Am
I know I’m gonna lose but I don’t care, it’s just a game
F                        G
Come back, you gotta share
                         C                    C/B             Am
More stories with our grandkids, they are young they gotta learn
     F                    G                 C    Am
You know your smiles can cure me when I’m sore
    F               G                  C
I need them and I need your hugs once more

[Verse 3]
Am7
With my grandma’s desperate message
   C/B                                C
I pick up dad and I drive through the rain
    Am7
As I go inside, I have a presage
   C/B                                C
but I can’t waste time, I am almost there

[Verse 4]
Am7
Then a nurse reads in my face
     C/B                                   C
That I don’t know, she holds her breath and speechless
    Am7
She breaks the news, we lost the race
     C/B                         C
but offers us to see him from a distance

[Chorus]
F                         G
Come back, let’s play again
                   C              C/B                Am
I know I’m gonna lose but I don’t care, it’s just a game
F                        G
Come back, you gotta share
                         C                    C/B             Am
More stories with our grandkids, they are young they gotta learn
     F                    G                 C    Am
You know your smiles can cure me when I’m sore
    F               G                  C
I need them and I need your hugs once more

[Bridge]
F                       G
Crying, barely hanging on
                     C               C/B                Am
My father says that hearing is the last sense to be gone
   F                          G
I look for the message in my phone
                   C             C/B              Am
From my grandma isolated, quaranteening on her own
    F                G                   C    Am
I play it for him, while she doesn’t know
       F            G                  C
He’s listening but he won’t come back home

[Chorus]
F                         G
Come back, let’s play again
                   C              C/B                Am
I know I’m gonna lose but I don’t care, it’s just a game
F                        G
Come back, you gotta share
                         C                    C/B             Am
More stories with our grandkids, they are young they gotta learn
     F                    G                 C    Am
You know your smiles can cure me when I’m sore
    F               G                  C
I need them and I need your hugs once more
