Intro:
[C Csus2 Am Csus2] x2

Verse 1:

    C                            
The candles on the table lit you 
Csus2
up,
      Am               Csus2
And I wondered if we'd done enough.
    C                         
The blackout came to slow down 
      Csus2
everyone
       Am                        
And it spoke to us, said "you've 
Csus2
had your fun".

Verse 2:

    C                              
The autumn in your eyes, it lit me 
Csus2
up.
        Am                      
I was a fallen leaf, you were a 
Csus2
firework.
     C                             
When winter came, I tried to keep 
  Csus2
us warm
         Am                       
At least warmer than... than we'd 
Csus2
been before.

Chorus:

       F   C    Csus2        F   
On our way back home, on our way 
C    Csus2
back home.
       F   C    Csus2        F   
On our way back home, on our way 
C    Csus2
back home.

Verse 3:

  C                              
I pulled you close to me and soon 
    Csus2
forgot
            Am                 
About those heavy hearts, about 
       Csus2
those other ones.
    C                         
The blackout came to slow down 
      Csus2
everything
          Am                       
That we'd come to know, we still 
  Csus2
had songs to sing.

Chorus:

       F   C    Csus2        F   
On our way back home, on our way 
C    Csus2
back home.
       F   C    Csus2        F   
On our way back home, on our way 
C    Csus2
back home.

Outro:

    C                            
The candles on the table lit you 
Csus2
up,
      Am               Csus2
And I wondered if we'd done enough.
