Home, come on home

Ye who are weary come home

Softly and tenderly calling
G D G D
Home, come on home
[Verse 1]
G C
Sometimes when I'm feeling lonesome
G D D7
And no one on earth seems to care
G C
I'm all by myself in the darkness
A D
With no one and nothing to share
G F C
Just when it feels like it's hopeless
B Em G
And I'll never make it alone
C G Em
I hear the voices of angels
D G D
Tenderly calling me home

G D G Em
Home, come on home
[Verse 2]
G C
I try to keep it together
G D
I never let on that I'm scared
G C
Still sometimes I fall to pieces
A D D7
Scattered and lost everywhere
G F C
Just when it feels like there's no one
B Em G
To mend all my broken down dreams
C G Em
I hear a voice deep inside me
D G D
Tenderly calling to me (Singing)
[Chorus]
G D G
Home, come on home
C G
Ye who are weary come home
C G Em
Softly and tenderly calling
G D G C Em D G
Home, come on home
[Verse 3]
C
So don't be afraid of the darkness
G D
And don't run away from the storm
G C
Stand up and face your reflection
A D
The feelings you try to ignore
G F C
After the tempest is over
B Em G
You've let yourself come on through
C G Em
You'll hear a voice in the silence
G D G D
Tenderly calling to you (Singing)
[Chorus]
G D G
Home, come on home
C G
Ye who are weary come home
C G Em
Softly and tenderly calling
D G
Home, come on home
