[Verse]
Em                    Bm
 Yesterday I spent asleep
Em                                 Em7
 Woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap
Em                                 Bm
 Spent the night trying to make a deadline
Em
 Squeezing complicated lives into a simple headline
Em                                Bm
 I have your face here in an old Polaroid
Em                       Em7
 Tidying the children's clothes and toys
Em                                      Bm
 You're smiling back at me, I took the photo from the fridge
Em                     Em7
 Can't remember what then we did
Em                               Bm
 I haven't been with a woman, it feels like for years
Em                                  Em7
 Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears
Em                      Bm
 This shitty world sometimes produces a rose
Em                            Em7              Em
 The scent of it lingers and then it just goes


[Chorus]
  Em       Em7      Em    Bm
Return the call to home

Em7                          Bm
 The worst of us are a long drawn out confession
Em                                  Em7
 The best of us are geniuses of compression
                                              Bm
You say you're not going to leave the truth alone
Em               Em7
 I'm here cos I don't want to go home
Em                                    Bm
 Child drinking dirty water from the river bank
Em                         Em7
 Soldier brings oranges he got out from a tank
Em                               Bm
 I'm waiting on the waiter, he's taking a while to come
Em7
 Watching the sun go down on Lebanon


[Chorus]
  Em       Em7      Em    Bm
Return the call to home

D                                   Bm
 Now I've got a head like a lit cigarette
Em                              Em7
 Unholy clouds reflecting in a minaret
D                         Bm
 You're so high above me, higher than everyone
Em7
 Where are you in the Cedars of Lebanon?


[Instrumental]

[Outro]
D                                   Bm
 Choose your enemies carefully cos they will define you
Em
 Make them interesting cos in some ways they will mind you
D                                        Bm
 They're not there in the beginning but when your story ends
Em
 Gonna last with you longer than your friend
