Verse One:
Thank you for coming home
Open
I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn, I left them here I could have sworn
These are my salad days,
Slowly being eaten away, Just another play for today
Oh but I'm proud of you,but I'm proud of you,
There's nothing left to make me feel small.
Luck has left me standing so t----a------ll
Chorus:
Ebmin7
Gold; Always believe in your soul,
Ebmin7
You've got the power to know
You're indestructible; Always believe i-n, because you are
Ebmin7
Gold; Glad that you're bound to return,
Ebmin7
There's something I could have learned
You're indestructable, always believe i-n

Verse Two:
After the rush has gone,
Open
I hope you find a little more time Remember we were partners in crime
It's only two years ago
The man with the suit and the pace You know that he was there on the case
Now he's in love with you,he's in love with you
And my love is like a prison wall
But you could leave me standing so t----a------ll
Chorus:
Ebmin7
Gold; Always believe in your soul,
Ebmin7
You've got the power to know

There's something I could have learned
You're indestructable, always believe i-n
