Intro: A  
Dmaj7You're a law unto yourself
AAnd we don't suffer dreamers
Dmaj7But neither should you walk the earth alAone
Dmaj7So with finger rolls and folding chairs 
AAnd a volley of streamers
Dmaj7We can be there for tweaks and repairs
Should yoAu come back home
Dmaj7  A
We got open arms Dfor broken heartsA  
Like youDrs my boy, come home againA  
Dmaj7Tables are for pounding here
AAnd when we've got you surrounded
Dmaj7The man you are will know the boy you wereA  
Dmaj7And you're not the man who fell to earth
AYou're the man of La Mancha
Dmaj7And we've love enough to light the street
A'Cause everybody's here
We got open arms Dfor broken heartsA  
Like youDrs my boy, come home againA  
We got open arms Dfor broken heartsA  
Like youDrs my boy, come home againA  
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
The moon is out looking for trouble
And everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
The moon wants a scrap or a cuddle
And everyone's here
We got open arms for broken hearts
Like yours my boy, come home again
We got open arms for broken hearts
Like yours my boy, come home again
Everyone's here
Everyone's here 
Everyone's here
Come home again
The moon is out looking for trouble
The moon wants a scrap or a cuddle
The moon is face down in a puddle
And everyone's here

And you're not the man who fell to earth

You're the man of La Mancha

And we've love enough to light the street

'Cause everybody's here

Like yours my boy, come home again

We got open arms for broken hearts

Like yours my boy, come home again
