G          D  
so be patient, patient

        C             G
when waiting for the gold

     G               D 
and wait on me as long as you have to

       C                   G
don't wait till you're too old

CHORUS

       Em        C      G
cuz i stood outside so long

        Em            C        Am             D 
and i stood till the bark on every tree was gone

VERSE

so come on home tonight
and fight for what you know
and say what you think
but please say it in love

if you follow the crowd
just promise me one thing
please know your heart
before you begin to sing

CHORUS

cuz i'm on my way back home
and i found that the story was true all along

CHORUS
cuz i'm on my way back home
and i found that the story was true all along
so you get what you get through to me
and the sound of your voice
was the one that carried me

BRIDGE

C        G         D             Em 
oh the sound is breaking all my bones

C        G       D           Am 
and won't you sing again about it

C           G             D              Em 
the fire of my life is knocking at my front door

C      G          D        Am 
won't you let him in this time

C      G          D        Am 
won't you let him in this time
