Lyrics

Come (F)down off your (Bb)throne and (Db)leave your bod y a (F)lone.

Some (Bb)bod y must (F)change.

You are the (Bb)rea son I’ve been (Db)wait ing so (F)long.

Some (Bb)bod y holds the (Fm)key.

Well, I’m near the end; I just ain’t (C)got the (F)time,

be cause I’m wast ed and I can’t find (F)my (Gm7)way home.

Come (F)down on your (Bb)own and (Db)leave your bod y a (F)lone.

Some (Bb)bod y must (F)change.

You are the (Bb)rea son I’ve been (Db)wait ing the (F)years.

Some (Bb)bod y holds the (Fm)key.

Well, I’m near the end; I just ain’t (C)got the (F)time,

be cause I’m wast ed and I can’t find (F)my (Gm7)way home.

Come

But I (Ab)can’t find my way home.

But I (Ab)can’t find my way home.
