[Verse 1]
EI'm always in a race like I'm rF#munning out of space
I'm just trC#mying to do it great mama
It wEouldn't hurt to call you, F#msay I'm coming home soon
C#mBut we know it ain't true now
I Enever see my friends, man, I cF#man't even pretend
Like I eC#mven know their kids now
EI missed some graduations, F#mnever took vacations
Been lC#miving on the road these days
[Bridge]
ESome people, some people, F#msome people say
C#mTrue love grows deeper from miles away
EFour in the morning I'm F#mlying awake
C#mThinking about how it used to be
[Chorus]
EFor me, F#myou leave the lighC#mt on (the light on)
You keep guiding me home
EI've been broF#mke down and tiC#mred (so tired)
You keep guiding me homeE  
Always (alwayF#ms) waiting (waitingC#m) for my call, I'm praying
EFor me, yF#mou leave, the lighC#mt on (the light on)
You keep guiding me home
[Verse 2]
EEvery single day I can F#msee it from the stage
I'm C#msurrounded by my fate mama
These Epeople really know me, F#mmaybe not the old me
C#mWhose really the homie now?
What Estarted as a seed, has so quiF#mckly turned to greed
I'm just C#mtrying to be me mama
EI just wanted to go and do F#mwhat they said I can't do
It's C#mfunny how my life turned out
[Bridge]
ESome people, some people, F#msome people say
C#mTrue love grows deeper from miles away
EFour in the morning I'm F#mlying awake
C#mThinking about how it used to be

EFor me, F#myou leave the lighC#mt on (the light on)
You keep guiding me home
EI've been broF#mke down and tiC#mred (so tired)

Always (alwayF#ms) waiting (waitingC#m) for my call, I'm praying
EFor me, yF#mou leave, the lighC#mt on (the light on)

[Something dope]
    ESometimes I sF#mwear I hear your voice right through the siC#mlence
So sing it loud,    EI know it's F#mhard but you know I'm gonna fiC#mnd ya, I'll figure it out
