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
[Instrumental]

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
[Instrumental]

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
