[Verse 1]
D                     A
Patiently waiting for some new Jerusalem.
Bm                  G
A sacred time where demons didn't know you.
D                                  A
Then, stood on the banks clutching rosary noose.
Bm                       G
open the floodgates and abandon the sluice.
    D                 A
Oh, Laura, I love you more, than you'll ever know.
Bm                               G
How can I protect you from these things that you won't let go?

D A Bm G
 
[Verse 2]
  D
I wish I'd been older,
  A                       Bm
I wish I'd been more of a guardian.
              G                        D
A shoulder to cry upon, a brother to rely upon.
            A                       Bm
I took your shelter, I didn't think twice.
          G                        D
I owe you everything, I owe you my life.
        A           Bm
I was afraid, I ran away.
      G                          D
Oh, I begged you to come for the skies
   A         Bm           G
on fire, and you couldn't see it, at all.
 
[Interlude]
D A Bm G
 
[Chorus]
    D              A
And love is just a word
                     Bm
you thought that you heard.
                G                D
All it means is never, never say never, no.
           A         Bm
Don't give up on me yet.
                    G                             D
Can you learn to forgive all that you learn to forget?
            A
It's just a word,
                     Bm
you thought that you heard.
                G                D
All it means is never, never say never, no.
           A         Bm
Don't give up on me yet.
                    G                             D
Can you learn to forgive all that you learn to forget?

[Bridge]
G                               Bm    A
  I'm trying to find a way back home.
G                               Bm    A
  I'm trying to find a way back home.
G                               Bm    A
  I'm trying to find a way back home.

  I'm trying to find a way back home.
