[Fsus]My first day of re[F]cess
They all l[Bb]aughed at m[F]e
When I f[Am]ell off the swing set
And scr[Bb]aped up my knee.
[Fsus]The nurse called my m[F]ama
To say [Bb]I'd be la[F]te
And when she [Am]gave me the phone
I could [Bb]hear mama s[C]ay,
I'm so s[Bb]orry, s[F/A]on
Oh I think y[C]ou're so b[Bb]rave
F/A Bb Csus, C
And she was smiling when she said
Chorus:
When you come [F]home
No matter how [C]far
Dm C Bb Csus, C
Run through the door and into my arms
It's where you are l[F]oved
It's where you b[C]elong
And I will be h[Dm]ere[-][C][-][Bb]
C Fsus - F - Bb - Bb minor
When you come home
Verse Two:
I waved g[Fsus]ood-bye through the w[F]indow
As I b[Bb]oarded the pl[F]ane
My f[Am]irst job in Houston was w[Bb]aiting for me
I found a l[Fsus]etter from m[F]ama
[Bb]Tucked in my c[F]oat
And as I f[Am]lew down the runway
I s[Bb]miled when she w[C]rote
I [Bb]miss you s[F/A]on
You'll be so f[C]ar a[Bb]way
F/A Bb - Csus, C
But I'll be waiting for the day
(Chorus)
Well I don't t[Fsus]hink she can [F]hear you now
The do[Fsus]ctor told [F]me.
Your [Am]mother is fading
It's [Bb]best that you leave
So I [Fsus]whispered I l[F]ove you
And [Fsus]then turned a[F]way
But I s[Am]topped at the door
When I [Bb]heard mama s[C]ay
I [Bb]love you [F/A]son
But they're callin' [C]me [Bb]away
F/A Dbsus - Csus, C
Promise me before I go
(Chorus)
They all l[Bb]aughed at m[F]e
When I f[Am]ell off the swing set
And scr[Bb]aped up my knee.
[Fsus]The nurse called my m[F]ama
To say [Bb]I'd be la[F]te
And when she [Am]gave me the phone
