-Intro-
Em D C2 G D C2 Em D C2


-Verse 1-
G                  D               C2
You say you want a living sacrifice
                          C
Well I am a burnt offering
                 D
Crawling off the alter and
C2
Back in to the fire
G                 D
And with my smoke-filled lungs
     C2
I cry out for freedom
G                 D
While locking and chaining myself
C2
To my rotting desires


-Prechorus 1-
D2(add4)   C         D2(add4)
AND I HATE THE STENCH,
      C
BUT I SWALLOW THE KEY.
D2(add4)   C                   D2(add4) C
AND WITH IT STUCK IN MY THROAT, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
(C)
CAN YOU HEAR ME


-Chorus-
G          D               C2
I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME
Em         D               C2
I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME, BUT I'M STILL A LONG WAY OFF


G D C2


-Verse 2-
G    D                    C2
I am shelled-shocked, and I have walked
Through the trenches full of tears
G                   D
With the mortars of memory
  C2
Exploding in my burning ears


-Prechorus 2-
D2(add4)              C          D2(add4)
You stripped the trees of Lebanon
               C
And now you're stripping me
D2(add4)       C
Of the bark of false morality
D2(add4)        C
And the bite of selfish greed
(C)
Can you hear me?


-Chorus-
G          D               C2
I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME
Em         D               C2
I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME, BUT I'M STILL A LONG WAY OFF


-Bridge-
Am2         Em     Am2            Em
WILL YOU RUN TO ME?  WILL YOU COME TO ME?
D
WILL YOU MEET ME, WILL YOU GREET ME,
WILL YOU DRAG ME HOME 'CAUSE I'M STILL A LONG WAY OFF


-Guitar Solo-
G D C2 Em D C2(2X)


-Chorus-
G          D               C2
I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME
Em         D               C2
I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME


-Chorus-
G          D               C2
I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME
Em         D               C2
I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME


-Chorus-
G          D               C2
I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME
Em         D               C2
I'M COMIN' HOME, I'M COMIN' HOME
