[Opening]
When you [G]left this town, with your [Dm]windows down
And the [C]wilderness inside
Let the [G]exits pass, all the [Dm]tar and glass
‘Til the [C]road and sky align
[verse 2]
The [G]strangers in this [Dm]town,
They [C]raise you up just to [Am]cut you down
Oh [G]Angela it’s a [Dm]long time [C]coming
[verse 3]
And your [G]Volvo lights lit up [Dm]green and white
With the [C]cities on the signs
But you [G]held your course to some [Dm]distant war
In the [C]corners of your mind
[verse 4]
From the [G]second time [Dm]around
The [C]only love I [Am]ever found
Oh [G]Angela it’s a [Dm]long time [C]coming
[verse 5]
Home [G]at [C]last [Em]
Were you [G]safe and warm in your [Dm]coat of arms
With your [C]fingers in a fist
Did you [G]hear the notes, all those [Dm]static codes
In the [C]radio abyss?
[verse 6]
[G]Strangers in this [Dm]town,
They [C]raise you up just to [Am]cut you down
Oh [G]Angela it’s a [Dm]long time [C]coming [Am]
Oh [G]Angela spent your [Dm]whole life running [C]away
[Closing]
Home[G] at [C]last [Em]
Home[G] at [C]last [Em]
[G]Vacancy, hotel [Dm]room, lost in [C]me, lost in [Am]you
[G]Angela, on my [Dm]knees, I be[C]long, I [Am]believe
Home[G] at [C]last [Em]
Home[G] at [C]last [Em]
Home[G] at [C]last [Em]
Home[G] at [C]last [Em]
Home at [G]last
[Dm]Mmmmm [C]mm [Am]mm
[G]Mmm [Dm]mm [C]mm [Am]mm [G]
