I know I kind of went out with a bang when I (E5)dumped you out of the blue.

But my heart’s just like a (A5)boom er ang;

Now (F#5)I’m con fess in’ I’ve learned my les son.

Give me your bless in’ to (D)come back home to (B5)stay.

Here’s what I’m (F#5)try ing to say: Let me come (E5)home (D5)to you, ba by.

Let me come (E5)home.

Let me come (E5)home (D5)to you, ba by.

Let me come (E5)home.

Now I can try and date some (A5)glam or ous guy,

and (E5)things might turn out cool.

But as I learned when I ap (A5)plied to De Vry,

you (E5)got ta have a safe ty school.

Now (F#5)you’re my back up.

Don’t make me pack up and have to shack up down (D)by the in ter (B5)state.

Yeah, I’ll re (F#5)it er ate, let me come (E5)home (D5)to you, ba by.

Let me come (E5)home.

Let me come (E5)home (D5)to you, ba by.

Let me come (E5)home.

And to (A5)mor row when (G5)you wake (G5)up, you’ll no (E5)long er have (D5)an ex, ’cause the best part of (C5)a break (C5)up is the (F#5)make up (E5)sex.

Let me come (E5)home (D5)to you, ba by.

Let me come (E5)home.

Let me come (E5)home (D5)to you, ba by.

Let me come (E5)home.

Let me come (E5)home (D5)to you, ba by.

Let me come (E5)home.

Let me come,

let me come,

let me come

home.
