Chorus:
Dm C Dm
Well I once heard a story about a run-down home
Dm F A
Where a man and his thoughts lived all alone
Dm F C A
He tried to live, no effort was shown
Dm F C Dm
He’s slowly finding a way back home
Dm C Dm
He had a family with smiles and frowns
Dm F A
They never could solve his way to be down
Dm F C A
Cos he’s one dog who don’t want a bone
Dm F C Dm
He’s slowly finding a way back home
He had a nice house with windows and doors
He said to his wife what’s mine is yours
But the seeds of deception are soon to be sown
He’s slowly finding a way back home
His children have left but the rooms are still there
His misses the noise and the scents in their hair
But far from the nest the babies have flown
He’s slowly finding a way back home
His wife was an angel sent from above
He never returned her kisses or love
But soon he’d found that she’d overgrown
This man who’s finding a way back home
So the leaves are all dead in this broken man’s June
The rain will still fall on the sunny afternoon
He stares at the floor, no more to roam
He’s slowly finding a way back home
Chorus
