[Verse]
D G
You've been gone so long all that you know
Em C
Has been shuffled aside as you bask in the glow
D G
Of the beautiful strangers that whisper your name
Em C G
And they fill up the emptiness
Am Em A C G
Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one
[Chorus]
G D
You have been drifting for so long
G D
I know you don't want to come down
G Bm
But somewhere below you there's people who love you
C G D
And they're ready for you to come down please come home
Am G D

Am G
[Verse]
D G
Walk in a room and the world stops to stare
Em C
Mesmerized all who are caught in the glare
D G
Of the spotlight that follows wherever you go
Em C G
Does it light up the emptiness
Am Em A C G
Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one
[Chorus]
G D
You have been drifting for so long
G D
I know you don't want to come down
G Bm
But somewhere below you there's people who love you
C G D
And they're ready for you to come down please come home
[Outro]
Am G D
