[Verse]
F#
Stand down, son
Ab
And start resting easy
Bbm
You’ve done your service
      B
I am proud to have you home and see you safe
 
It’s so good
           F
You looked so strong
        F#
In that picture on the mantle
              Ab
You sent your mom when you were gone
               Bbm
But you looked scared now
B          Ebm                    F
Hollow eyed, when are you coming?
 
When are you coming?
 
 
[Chorus]
F#                    F#m
Back where you belong
                            Ebm
I swear that it’s safe here
                           B
There’s nothing to fear at all
 
        F#
Come on back
             F#m
Where you belong
                   Ebm
The pressure releases
                          B
If you just let down your guard
 
 
[Verse]
F#                  Ab
Everything rests on you
              Bbm
You know that feelin' well
            B
The ball is fallin', fallin', fallin'
Ebm           F
So far from a close call
 
     F#
Your injuries aren’t mortal wounds
    Ab                Abm
The only thing that’s killin' you
   Bbm
Is what you saw
             B
And what you couldn’t stop
 
                     Ebm
Well, you’re not the one I blame
          F
It wasn’t your mistake
           Bb   F#     C#
But you're safe now so come home
 
 
[Chorus]
F#                F#m
Back where you belong
                            Ebm
I swear that it’s safe here
                           B
There’s nothing to fear at all
 
        F#
Come on back
             F#m
Where you belong
                   Ebm
The pressure releases
                          B
If you just let down your guard
 
     Ebm
It’s simple things, dad
Bb
I’m not hurt, I’m not dead
              F#
I just should be
                     F#m
Where my friends are lying
 
      Abm
And I didn’t hate
             Bm
Those that I killed
                         E
But they’re all dead now
 
                             C#m
And I’m here alive with satellites
             A                        F#m
And Friday nights and no one to judge me
       G                        A
Or the things that I’ve done at all
                  F#m  F#
So how can I live with that?
 
C#  Abm  Bm  C# Abm Bm
 
F#              F#m
Back where I belong
Ebm             B   D
Back where I belong
F#
Back where I belong
Ebm             B
Back where I belong
 
 
[Chorus]
        F#
Take me back where I belong
                           Ebm
You swear that it’s safe here
                            B
There is nothing to fear at all
 
        F#              F#m
Take me back where I belong
                   Ebm
The pressure releases
                     B
If I just let down my guard
