Lyrics

[Intro]
C/G Cmaj7/G Fmaj7 C/G
Cmaj7/G Fmaj7 C/G
Cmaj7/G     C/G
       So apropos

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7/G                  C/G
       Saw death on a sunny snow

[Chorus]
          F               C/G
For every life forego the parable.
         F                  C/G
Seek the light my knees are cold
        Em
Running home
Running home
Running home
   Cmaj7/G
Running   home

[Interlude]
C/G Cmaj7/G         C/G
           Go find another lover

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7/G                      C/G
       To bring a to string along!
              F
With all your lies,

[Chorus]
                  C/G
You're still very lovable.
           F
I toured a light
        C/G
So many foreign roads
Em                 Cmaj7/G
  For Emma, forever       ago.
