Standard (EADGBE)

It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home

I've been away now, oh how I've been alone

Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we cried

But if your heart breaks, don't wait, turn me away

And if your heart's strong, hold on, I won't delay

Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we cried

I feel as though you ought to know that I've been good

As good as I can be

And if you do, I'll trust in you

And know that you will wait for me

It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home

I've been away now, oh how I've been alone

Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we cried

It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home

I've been away now, oh how I've been alone

But if your heart breaks, don't wait, turn me away

And if your heart's strong, hold on, I won't delay
