Intro  F   C   G   C   F   C   G  
      F C G Am F G C
I am Cgoing back to my Fsister's Chouse
Gthrough the mountains to the Cplace
where I know I can Ftake my Gweary Csoul and Fsmile for a faGmiliar Cface
and the Emroof that I'm sAmtanding on feels like an airEmplane
city stAmreets below me moving far aEmway
what I woFuldn't give to be there now
I'll fGind my way to you somehow
Fso give me a Cblanket for my cGold cold hCeart
you kFnow that I've tCravelled Gfar
and IF'll give you bCack a wGarm warm hAmide
to kFeep with you Gwhen we're aCpart
we're famiAmly
famiGly, Fla la la la Cla
we're famiAmly
famiGly, Fla la la la Cla
sure has been Cone long year since I've Fbeen down Chere
Grunning in a concrete Crace
where I'm lonely Fbut far Gfrom Calone just Flonging for a Gslower Cpace
and the Emroof that I'm Amstanding on won't hide me from the Emrain
but I Amknow that I will see you all Emagain
what I woFuldn't give to be there now
I'll fGind my way to you somehow
Fso give me a Cblanket for my cGold cold hCeart
you kFnow that I've tCravelled Gfar
and IF'll give you bCack a wGarm warm hAmide
to kFeep with you Gwhen we're aCpart
we're famiAmly
famiGly, Fla la la la Cla
we're famiAmly

where I know I can take my weary soul and smile for a familiar face

city streets below me moving far away

what I wouldn't give to be there now

I'll find my way to you somehow

so give me a blanket for my cold cold heart

you know that I've travelled far

to keep with you when we're apart

we're family

sure has been one long year since I've been down here

G C

running in a concrete race

F G C F G C

where I'm lonely but far from alone just longing for a slower pace

Em Am Em

and the roof that I'm standing on won't hide me from the rain

but I know that I will see you all again

what I wouldn't give to be there now

I'll find my way to you somehow

so give me a blanket for my cold cold heart
