Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][F][G]
[C][Am][F][G]

[Verse 1]
I open my [C]lungs [Am]dear
I [F]sing this song at [G]funerals
[C]No [Am]rush
These [F]lyrics heard a [G]thousand times
Just [C]plush[Am]
A [F]baby boy you've [G]held so tightly
This [C]pain it visits [Am]almost nightly
[F]Missing hotel [G]beds,
I feel [C]your [Am]touch[F][G]

[Verse 2]
I will a[C]wait [Am]dear,
A [F]patience of e[G]ternity,
My [C]crush[Am]
A [F]universal [G]still
No [C]rust[Am]
No [F]dust will ever [G]grow on this frame
One [C]million years, and I [Am]will say your name
I [F]love you more than [G]I can ever s[C]cream[G]
[Em][F]

[Chorus 1]
We [C]booked our flight those [G]years ago
I [Em]said, I loved you [F]as I left you
Re[C]grets still haunt my [G]hollow head
But I [Em]promised to you that
I [F]will see you a[C]gain, [Am]again[F][G]

[Verse 3]
I sit here and [C]smile [Am]dear
I [F]smile because I [G]think of you
and I [C]blush[Am]
These [F]bleeding hollow [G]dials
This [C]fuss[Am]
A [F]fuss is made of [G]miles and travels
When [C]roadways are but [Am]stones and gravel
A [F]bleeding heart can [G]conquer every [C]crush[G]
[Em][F]

[Chorus 2]
We [C]booked our flight those [G]years ago
You [Em]said, you loved me [F]as you left me
Re[C]grets still haunt your [G]saddened head
But I prom[Em]ised to you that I [F]will see you
We [C]booked our flight those [Am]years ago
I [Em]said, I loved you [F]as I left you
Re[C]grets no longer [Am]in my head
But I prom[Em]ised to you and [G]now
I'm home a[C]gain, a[Am]gain, a[F]gain[G]
I'm home a[C]gain, a[Am]gain, a[F]gain[G]
I'm home a[C]gain
