Em, G, D, and A all through the song
Homecoming, Iâm coming
My sweet mistake
Summerâs over, hope itâs not too late
Iâm pacing, impatient
Up in my head
Taken back to the sidewalk where we met
And carved out our names
Do you remember that?
Iâm coming home, Iâm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
Iâm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If Iâm falling, falling apart for you
Descending, Iâm spinning
Lost all defense
How could you swallow me again?
I left you, I meant to
Couldnât let you in
Never mind a single word I said
Carve out your name
Do you remember that?
Iâm coming home, Iâm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you.
Iâm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If Iâm falling, falling apart
Youâve got control of me
Is this the end of me?
âCause I just canât cut up the strings
Iâm coming back for more
Donât let your heart go
Please donât walk away
Homecoming, Iâm coming, Iâm coming back
Iâm coming home, Iâm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
Iâm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If Iâm falling, falling apart
Iâm coming home, Iâm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you.
Iâm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If Iâm falling, falling apart
thats it. :)

you come close to me
Verse 2:
Letâs make a scene
like movies in our
dreams Make me scream

5.) Candles
Key:
Intro:
The power lines went out
And I am all alone
But I don t really care at all
Not answering my phone
All the games you played
The promises you made
Couldn t finish what you started
Only darkness still remains
Lost sight
Couldn t see
When it was you and me
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I m beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I ll be alright
Been black and blue before
There s no need to explain
I am not the jaded kind
Playback s such a waste
You re invisible
Invisible to me
My wish is coming true
Erase the memory of your face
Lost sight
Couldn t see
When it was you and me
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I m beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I ll be alright
One day
you will wake up
With nothing but âyou re sorrysâ
And someday
you will get back
Everything you gave me
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I m beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I ll be alright
