Em   Dm   Em   Am

Well, well, well! If it isn't Henry! Don't be such a stranger, old buddy!
                            Gm        Am
It's been so long since you came back home...

Em

[Verse 1]

Am                    Em
I know you’re seein’, but not believin’
Am          Dm               Em
A picture’s worth a thousand words
               Dm          Am
And look who’s holding the pen
    Dm     Em        D
You let me out of my cel
            Am                   Em
And all the ink’s run out of the well

Am                 Em                          Am
I know you’re frightened, but hey just lighten up
                          E                             Am
How else ya gonna see the shadows in the corner of your eyes?
            E
We’ve got a killer surprise
         Am                     E
It’s our thanks for all of your lies


[Chorus]

Am
Springin’ from the posters and the reel on the tape
        Dm          G               Am           Em
A new dimension for us could be the seal of your fate
            Am                                  A
And all the years you left us rotting here with nothing but rejection
        Dm         G                Am         Dm
Made us bitter and cold, so give us what we’re owed

        Am                           D
I got a million things to say to someone like you
      Dm             Am
Now answer to all of your selfish deeds
                           Dm               A
We are the ones you left behind, you put us out of mind
          Am                                 Em
You can’t rewind, it’s far too late for that now

        Am                                                      D
Now the ink is running faster, say your prayers and hope you’ll last
             Dm
Cause it’s a hell of a show and you’re in the front row
          Am
Oh Henry, welcome home
N.C.
You’ve been away for far too long


Dm E Am Em


[Verse 2]
Am                  Em
No longer sketches, distorted wretches
                                                       Am
How could so much have happened since you left so long ago?
      Dm    Em
Well, buddy don'tcha know
             Am                 Em
You’re gonna reap what you have sown

Am
Maybe if you blink you’ll see it’s all in your head
               F        G                              E
But while your eyes are closed, you might just wind up dead
          Am                                                       Dm
So make a choice and hope that I don’t hear your voice cause I’m a-comin'!
         F          G                           Am
It's the end of the line, you can't erase this time


[Chorus]

Am                          Dm
I got a million memories of agony and pain
                             Am
Sent down the drain like all the other drafts
                           Dm                A
You thought you really got away but now it’s time to pay
               Am
It’s Judgement Day; I’ll have the final laugh

Am                                                              Dm
Now the ink is running faster, say your prayers and hope you’ll last
                                              F
Cause it’s a hell of a show and you’re in the front row
          Am
Oh Henry, welcome home
                         Dm  Am
You’ve been away for far too long

F   Am         D        G       Am     G
And now as the curtains finally close
       Am        D       G        Am     G
You’ll see the result of what you chose
       Dm   D
Did it have to go this way?
      G             Am
Maybe if you’d only stayed
         Bm                         Am B
All this tragedy could have been prevented, but-


[Chorus]

Am
Springin’ from the posters and the reel on the tape
        F           G               Am
A new dimension for us could be the seal of your fate
Am
And all the years you left us rotting here with nothing but rejection
        F
Made us bitter and cold
            C          Em
(NOW GET US WHAT WE'D  OWED!)

        Am                       D
I got a million things to say to someone like you
                          Am
Now answer to all of your selfish deeds
                                     A

          Am                                 E

         Am
Now the ink is running faster, say your prayers and hope you’ll last
Dm                                     Am           F
Cause it’s a hell of a show and you’re in the front row
          Am
Oh Henry, welcome home
Am
You’ve been away for far too long
Am
Welcome home
             G
You’ve been away for far too long
Am
Welcome home
                     Dm      Em
You’ve been away for far too long!
