Thank you for coming home

I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn, I left them here I could have sworn
Bbm                      
These are my salad days, 
Gbmaj7                                              
Slowly being eaten away, Just another play for today
	   Ab                   F
Oh but I'm proud of you,but I'm proud of you, 
        Gbmaj7                       Db     
There's nothing left to make me feel small.

Luck has left me standing so t----a------ll

Bbm   Ebmin7    Ab           Bbm

You're indestructable, always believe i-n
