GOING HOME
Page 1
CAPO 3
VERSE 1
A A
I'm going home to my wife and my kids. It's the best damn thing that I ever
A D A
did. Oh I've missed them so much, since I've been gone.
A A
I thought I was happy when I was with her, looking back now it's all just a
D A
blur. Oh I as a fool to walk away from it all.
CHORUS
E
THAT'S WHAT I TOLD HER WHEN WE TALKED ON THE
E D
PHONE, THEN WE BOTH CRIED AND SHE SAID I FORGIVE YOU.
E A
AND I STILL LOVE YOU. BABY COME ON HOME.
VERSE 2
A A
We got married just a little too young, the first thing you know, along comes
D A
a son, then another one came, life was moving too fast.
A A
The bills started piling up, we were in debt, I felt like I was falling, without
D A
a net, to catch me in time, so I just walked away.
REPEAT CHORUS
GOING HOME

and now I do.
CHORUS

PHONE, WAS ME AND THE KIDS WILL BE WAITING AT HOME.
E D E
THEY'VE REALLY MISSED YOU, THEY REALLY LOVE YOU.
D E A
I FORGIVE YOU AND I STILL LOVE YOU-BABY COME ON HOME
