_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ Hi everybody, welcome back to Songs from Home.

[A] And [B] a [E] sky that begins [D] to clear [A] _ [B] towards the [C#m] truest of [A] destinations, [D] _ [A] no fear. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] [D] I [A] used to hate [B] everyone there [G] [D] was.

_ _ _ _ And [B] when I need [A] your arms [D] to [A] hold me.
_ [Bm]
But [A] there's no [D] one near when [B] I'm [E] alone but the [G] only [D] sound is _ [A]
fear.

[G] _ I [B] want peace, [A] love, and [D]
understanding.
I [Bm] want to join [A] that last cold beer.

life.
