[Intro]
A#m F# C# G#
A#m F# C# G#
[Verse 1]
A#mThere are F#no wrong rC#oads
A#mAnd no wF#indow stays C#closed
A#mLove is always sF#ad when it fC#ades
The A#mglass is better F#stained anywC#ays
[Chorus]
If never you fA#mind what you’re looking fF#or
Come on C#back to the front porch
Say my nA#mame through the screen dF#oor
Come on C#back to the front porch
Whatever you’ve A#mdone it doesn’t F#matter
'Cause darling we're C#all a little splintered and battered
But the light is A#mon, what you waiting F#for?
Come on C#back, come on back to the front porch
[Instrumental]
A#m F# C# G#
[Verse 2]
A#mWe carved a F#story in these bC#oards
A#mWatching lifF#e go back and C#forth
A#mYou take it all for F#granted, then you C#leave
And then it A#mtakes a while to F#realize what you C#need
[Chorus]
If never you fA#mind what you’re looking fF#or
Come on C#back to the front porch
Say my nA#mame through the screen dF#oor
Come on C#back to the front porch
Whatever you’ve A#mdone it doesn’t F#matter
'Cause darling we're C#all a little splintered and battered
But the light is A#mon, what you waiting F#for?
Come on C#back, come on back
[Instrumental]
D#m F# C# G#
[Bridge]
I took the D#mlong way
Looking for the F#shortcut
To find out that D#mthis place
Was made of the F#best of...
[Chorus]
If never you fA#mind what you’re looking fF#or
Come on C#back to the front porch
Say my nA#mame through the screen dF#oor
Come on C#back to the front porch
Whatever you’ve A#mdone it doesn’t F#matter
'Cause darling we're C#all a little splintered and battered
But the light is A#mon, what you waiting F#for?
Come on C#back, come on back
Oh, come on F#back, come on G#back to the front porch
[Outro]

The glass is better stained anyways

Say my name through the screen door

Come on back to the front porch

We carved a story in these boards
