G D G
Chorus: Home, come on home
C G
Ye who are weary come home
C G Em
Softly and tenderly calling
G D G D
Home, come on home
G C
Sometimes when I'm feeling lonesome
G D
And no one on earth seems to care
G Em
I'm all by myself in the darkness
A7 D
With no one and nothing to share
G F
Just when it feels like it's hopeless
B Em
And I'll never make it alone
C G Em
I hear the voices of angels
G D G D
Tenderly calling me home
Chorus
G C
I try to keep it together
G D
I never let on that I'm scared
G Em
Still sometimes I fall to pieces
A7 D
Scattered and lost everywhere
G F
Just when it feels like there's no one
B Em
To mend all my broken down dreams
C G Em
I hear a voice deep inside me
G D G D
Tenderly calling to me
Chorus
G C
So don't be afraid of the darkness
G D
And don't run away from the storm
G Em
Stand up and face your reflection
A7 D
The feelings you try to ignore
G F
After the tempest is over
B Em
You've let yourself come on trough
C G Em
You'll hear a voice in the silence
G D G D
Tenderly calling to you
Chorus
