Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
C  Dm  Em  F
G  Am   F  G  Am   F

Verse:
            C        Dm   Em     F
I found her sleeping in a Kansas truck stop
     G      Am      F
In a corner booth
           G       Am                   F
She'd been waiting there for months and that's the truth

Verse:
    C         Dm      Em   F
She looked at me with wary eyes
            G      Am     F
She'd heard all my lies
        G      Am               F
She was not surprised, she only looked at me and shook her head
Chorus:
     G  Am        F
Come back__, come home
    G    Am       F
I'm gath'ring the crumbs and the stones
     G     Am   F              G7       C  Dm  C  F
Been travelling faster than my soul can go

Verse:
    C       Dm        Em     F
One subject line, one click away
           G          Am    F
But at the end of the day
           G    Am                  F
I couldn't even say the things that I had done

Verse:
     C         Dm      Em       F
So I spent the morning sweeping floors
         G         Am     F
I didn't want much more
        G       Am             F
Than to do just one thing at a time and call it mine

Chorus:
     G  Am        F
Come back__, come home
    G    Am       F
I'm gath'ring the crumbs and the stones
     G     Am   F              G7       C
Been travelling faster than my soul can go

Instrumental:
C  Dm  Em  F
G  Am   F  G  Am   F

Bridge:
  G    Am         F
Before songs were grooves and lines
G         Am        F
Caught in jars like fireflies
    G    Am      F
The only place a song was held
                                Am
Soft or razor-sharp, was in the heart

Verse:
       C       Dm     Em      F
Mister Gatling made a Gatling gun
              G         Am    F
He thought it would end war
          G         Am                   F
Who could send some mother's son through such a door?

Verse:
    C       Dm          Em       F
But bullets move at the speed of cold
          G          Am     F
Drones do as they're told
        G      Am                F
And the men go home at night and kiss the wife
F
And watch TV and never see
F
All those souls untethered, floating out to sea

Chorus:
     G  Am        F
Come back__, come home
      G Am       F
We'll gather the crumbs and the stones
     G     Am   F             G7       C  Dm  C  F
Been travelling faster than a soul can go

Chorus:
     G  Am        F
Come back__, come home
      G    Am       F
We're gath'ring the crumbs and the stones
     G     Am   F               G7       C  Dm  C  F
Been travelling faster than our soul can go
                G      C   Dm  C  F
Faster than our soul can go
                G          C
Faster than our soul - can go

Outro:
C  Dm  Em  F
G  Am   F  G  Am   F
