Coming Home For Summer

C  Dm  Am  G
C  Dm  Am

[VERSE]
       C
We started in October
                    Dm       Am        G
Drowned our sins in cold November rain
C
Thoughts all through December
                   Dm           Am
Prayed for snow to cover up the pain
                   F            G
Been so long under winter's night
             D
Waiting for the sun
             F     E
Watching the horizon

[CHORUS]
Am          C               F          E
Everybody's coming home for summer
Am               C            F        E
Battlefields a thousand miles away
Am             C
What a feeling, taste the freedom
D
There with every bite
F             Fm      C      Dm       Am
Finally we're coming home

[VERSE]
   C
We shadow-boxed the enemy
            Dm               Am        G
Swing until we extradite our fears
     C
They're backed into a corner
                  Dm                 Am
Ring the bell, we shed our blood and tears
                 F        G                D
Like hibernating stowaways, hoping for the sun
             F        E
Watching the horizon

[CHORUS]

Am            C             F          E
Everybody's coming home for summer
Am              C              F       E
Battlefields a thousand miles away
Am             C
What a feeling, taste the freedom
D
There with every bite
F              F      E
Finally we're coming home

[G  O]
Am  C  F  E

[BRIDGE]
Dm
Oh, we suffered in silence
F
Through storms and through violence
      Am      G
We stayed our way
Dm
The waves have subsided
F
Clouds have divided
Am      G
(I found)
Dm
found a reason to survive
F
Found the will to stay alive

E                                   Am
That will be the last thing that we do
            D
Heading for summer
           Fm
Back home for summer

[CHORUS]
Am          C               F           E
Everybody's coming home for summer
Am              C              F        E
Battlefields a thousand miles away
Am             C
What a feeling, taste the freedom
D
There with every bite
F             Fm     C
Finally we're coming home
         Dm      Am
Oh, we're coming home
G      C  Dm         Am
Ohhhhhhh, I'm coming home
