Intro 2x: F#m D A A9 D E
F#m
All laid over
D A
This pain will drown out the sun
E
Mother, I'm coming home
A
But the war has just begun
D
All the boys will await the arising tide
A
On a pier with a traveled gun
E
I like the adrenaline, it's like a fucking drug
F#m
Mother, I'm coming home
( F#m D A A9 D E )
F#m D A
I've discovered dreams that speak in tongues
E
Mother, my mind it runs
A
Cause the war has just begun
D
Every night I can hear the approaching high
A
In a hole but I fear I'd run
E
I've got a thing for the edge of a life to come undone
F#m
Mother, I'm coming home
( F#m G#m A Bm ) 2x
( A A9 D E A A9 D E )
F#m
Old and tired
D A
Scarred and bruised to the bone
E
Mother, I'm coming home
A
And the war has just been won
D
All my friends can await the big ships to arrive
A
But I'd rather not join the fun
E
I need a minute to maybe soak in the sight
F#m
Of a town that I came from
