[Intro 1]
[Em][C][D][C][Em]
[C][D][C][Em]

[Verse 1]
Like [C]the flutter
of your fingertips,
Like [Csus2]the flicker[C]ing of light[D]s,
[Bm]They've got [Em]their bright ideas but
we've got bigger fish to fry.

[Verse 2]
[C]Found you out there on your doorstep,
Undressed to the nines.
[Am]From your [Em]Sunday best,
black and blue velvet dress.
Your head's a mess an[B]d so is [Em]mine.

[Verse 3]
Oh [C]Dorothy, I'm [G]coming home,
I [Am]hope you're waiting [Em]there.
I [G]know times have been [Am]tough on you,
It's all downhill from [Em]here.
Oh [C]Dorothy, [G]inside that dreadful
[Am]place deep in your [Em]heart,
It's [G]beckoning,
I'm ra[Am]cing to your doorway [C]Dorothy.
[D]Dorothy.[C]
[Em]

[Verse 4]
Like [C]the scratching sounds of insects,
Beneath the blades and [D]soil.
We'll be[Em]gin the plot to get away,
To ends as black as oil.
Now it's [C]pounding in the ear,
Left in left field for you to [Bm]find[Am].
Out[Em]side of your peripherals vision
of this never ending night.

[Verse 5]
Oh [C]Dorothy, I'm [G]coming home,
I [Am]hope you're waiting [Em]there.
I [G]know times have been [Am]tough on you,
It's all downhill from [Em]here.
Oh [C]Dorothy, [G]inside that dreadful
[Am]place deep in your [Em]heart,
It's [G]beckoning,
I'm ra[Am]cing to your doorway [G]Dorothy.
Dorothy.
[Bm][Bsus4][Bm][Em]

[Verse 6]
[D]
It's [G]a strange world isn't it?
Such strange times to be living in.
I had a change [Bm]of heart toni[G]ght,
When [Em]I watched her walk in[D]to the light.
It's [G]a strange world isn't it?
Such strange times to be living in.
I had [Bm]a change of heart to[G]night,
When [Em]I watched her walk in[D]to the light.
[C]

[Verse 7]
I watched her walk in[D]to the light.
[Em]

[Verse 8]
Oh [C]Dorothy, I'm [G]coming home,
I [Am]hope you're waiting [Em]there.
I [G]know times have been [Am]tough on you,
It's all downhill from [Em]here.
Oh [C]Dorothy, [G]inside that dreadful
[Am]place deep in your [Em]heart,
It's [G]beckoning,
I'm ra[Am]cing to your doorway Dorothy.
[C]Dorothy.
