Intro: F C/F Bb/F F C/F Bb/F F
C/F Bb/F F
There was a time you were so happy
C/F Bb/F F
And everything was fine
C/F Bb/F Bb
But you let your love grow cold there
F
And it's been killed by time
Gm Am
You thought you'd turn your back and run away
Bb Am
To try to find some kind of truth
F Bb Ab
But now you find you're farther from the truth
Bb
And it's passing with your youth, yeah
Cm
So, Why don't you come on back home?
Bb Ab Bb
You've been away so long
Cm
Why don't you come on back home?
Bb Ab Bb
You know where you belong
Cm
Why don't you come on back home?
Bb Ab Bb
You've been away so long
Bb F
Now it's time to come home
Bb F
Now it's time to come home
Bb
Doubt was a weapon that crucified your faith
F Bb
Your mind your greatest enemy
F
Your learning wasn't the bad thing
Bb
It was letting your reason rule
F
And now your rational deductions
Bb Gm
Are in the place that your faith should be
Am Bb
But, oh, you're as empty as you could be
Am F
Don't you know right now you could be free?
Gm
Why don't you come on back home to Jesus right now?
Ab Bb
He's waiting with open arms for you, oh my brother, yeah
Cm Bb
Why don't you come on back home?
Ab Bb
You've been away so long
Cm Bb
Why don't you come on back home?
Ab Bb
You know where you belong
Cm Bb
Why don't you come on back home?
Ab Bb
You've been away so long
F
Now it's time to come home
Bb F
Now it's time to come home
Bb F
Now it's time to come home
Bb Cm/Bb Bb Cm/Bb
Bb Cm/Bb Bb
Why don't you come on back home to Jesus?
Cm/Bb Bb
You've been gone away so long
Cm/Bb Bb
Why don't you come on back home to Jesus?
Cm/Bb Bb
You know where you belong
