INTRO / E / E / C#m / C#m / B / B / A / A /

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes But it’s the only thing that I know

When it gets hard you know it can get hard sometimes

It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

* We keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing Hearts are never broken

And time’s forever frozen still

** So you can keep me Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans

Holding me closer ’til our eyes meet You won’t ever be alone

(wait for me to come home)

Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul And it’s the only thing that I know, know

I swear it will get easier, Remember that with every piece of you

And it’s the only thing we take with us when we die

( * , ** )

*** And if you hurt me That’s okay baby, only words bleed

Inside these pages you just hold me And I won’t ever let you go

Wait for me to come home Wait for me to come home

Wait for me to come home Wait for me to come home

You can fit me Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen

Next to your heartbeat where I should be Keep it deep within your soul

( *** )

When I’m away I will remember how you kissed me

Under the lamppost back on Sixth street Hearing you whisper through the phone,

“Wait for me to come home.”
