Intro:
Em9Em9 D11D11 x2

Verse:
Em9Em9               D11D11
Crawling through the desert of my own desire
   Em9Em9                D11D11
The habitual path of this nomadic wanderer
Em9Em9              D11D11
Every spot of land that catches this covetous eye
     Em9Em9                D11D11
Becomes another stop on this long and dusty road

Pre-chorus:
   E minor 7Em7   G+G    Em/C
So I build my kingdom here
     E minor 7Em7           G+G       Em/C
Where the walls are steep and the watch towers high
  E minor 7Em7 G+G     Em/C
The prisoner of my own defenses
     A augmentedA                Cadd9Cadd9
Hoarding treasure that will perish to the end

Chorus:
    E minorEm    G+G     D MajorD    A augmentedA
My Jericho, Jericho lies beneath me
       E minorEm         G+G          D MajorD   A augmentedA
That trumpet sound and my life crashed and hit the ground
       E minorEm        G+G      D MajorD   A augmentedA
Don't be surprised to find me lying in the ruins
             Cadd9Cadd9                     D MajorD
Yeah, I'm battered and bruised but now there's nothing left for me to lose

I can find my way home

Em9Em9 D11D11 x2

Verse:
Em9Em9              D11D11
Days and years go by without a hint of resistance
     Em9Em9                  D11D11
From the fast-flowing tide of my own impending fate
Em9Em9           D11D11
Then I see your face on a far distant horizon
    Em9Em9                D11D11
And my heart awakes to the captive I've become

Pre-Chorus:
   E minor 7Em7   G+G    Em/C
So I wave my flag in surrender.
     E minor 7Em7           G+G       Em/C
With my own bear hands demolish what I'd made.
  E minor 7Em7 G+G     Em/C
I could not see that despite my best efforts,
     A augmentedA                Cadd9Cadd9
I needed help from heaven's mighty cavalry.

Don't be surprised to find me lying in the ruins
             Cadd9Cadd9                     D MajorD
Yeah, I'm battered and bruised but now there's nothing left for me to lose

I can find my way home
