[A] [D]
Welcome [Em] back, your dreams [A] were your ticket [D] out
[Em] Welcome back, to that same [A] old place that you [D] laughed about
[F#m] Well the names [B] have all changed [Em] since you hung around
[E] But those dreams have remained [Bm] and they've turned around
[G#] Who'd have thought they'd lead ya
Who'd have thought they'd lead [A] ya
Back here where we need ya
Back here where we need [Em] ya
Yeah we tease him a lot
Cause we [A] got him on the spot [D] Welcome back
Welcome [G] back, welcome [A] back, welcome [D] back
Welcome [G] back, welcome [A] back, [Em] welcome back
We [A] always could [D] spot a friend
[Em] Welcome back
And I smile [A] when I think how you [D] must have been
And [F#m] I know [B] what it seemed [Em] you were learning in
[E] Was there something that made [Bm] you come back again
[E] And what could ever [G#] lead ya
What [N] could ever lead ya
