[Verse 1]
C#m G#m
She was born with a song in the air
D#m E
In the summer of 85;
C#m G#m D#
The clouds just went and the day became so bright.
C#m G#m
A child of love, angel like,
D#m E
With the most beautiful smile,
C#m D#
Growing up to be the sunshine of my life.
[Pre-chorus 1]
G#m
Come talk to me,
D#m
Don’t run away,
E B F#/A#
Don’t let the distance grow.
G#m
The door’s wide open,
D#m
Don’t ever think,
C#sus2
There's no way home.
[Chorus]
F#m
Sly
C#m
Come home tonight;
D
The world is so bad,
E
You drive them all mad
F#m
With your smile.
D
Sly
F#m E
My joy and my pride;
D
When the runaway train,
A
Took you away,
G#sus4 G#
A part of me died.
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C#m G#m
The years went by like the summer of love
D#m E
So much changed in our lives
C#m G#m D#
There’re too many scars deep under my skin
C#m G#m
Love turned to hate and hate to love
D#m E
Let’s start all over again
C#m D#
And now I wonder what life will bring
[Pre-chorus 2]
G#m
Just let us laugh
D#m
The tears away
E B F#/A#
No more hard feelings, no
G#m
Cause after all
D#m
You’re my flesh and blood
C#sus2
I don’t want you to fall
[Chorus]
F#m

Come home tonight;

Come home alive

When the runaway train,

Took you away,

A part of me died.
