Intro 2x: F#m  D  A  A9  D  E 

F#m
All laid over
                      D       A
This pain will drown out the sun
                    E
Mother, I'm coming home
                      A
But the war has just begun

                              D
All the boys will await the arising tide
                          A
On a pier with a traveled gun
                               E
I like the adrenaline, it's like a fucking drug
                     F#m
Mother, I'm coming home

( F#m  D  A  A9  D  E )

F#m                           D          A
I've discovered dreams that speak in tongues
                    E
Mother, my mind it runs
                        A
Cause the war has just begun

                                D
Every night I can hear the approaching high
                      A
In a hole but I fear I'd run
                                    E
I've got a thing for the edge of a life to come undone
                    F#m
Mother, I'm coming home

( F#m  G#m  A  Bm ) 2x 

( A  A9  D  E  A  A9  D  E )

F#m
Old and tired
                 D          A
Scarred and bruised to the bone
                    E
Mother, I'm coming home 
                         A
And the war has just been won

                                  D
All my friends can await the big ships to arrive
                             A
But I'd rather not join the fun
                            E
I need a minute to maybe soak in the sight
                      F#m
Of a town that I came from
