Verse One:
Thank you for coming home
F#maj7 Open
I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn, I left them here I could have sworn
These are my salad days,
Slowly being eaten away, Just another play for today
Oh but I'm proud of you,but I'm proud of you,
There's nothing left to make me feel small.
Luck has left me standing so t----a------ll
Chorus:
Gold; Always believe in your soul,
You've got the power to know
You're indestructible; Always believe i-n, because you are
Gold; Glad that you're bound to return,
There's something I could have learned
You're indestructable, always believe i-n
Bridge: {Play these chords - one beat each - make a quick jump
from open to Bbm}

Verse Two:
After the rush has gone,
F#maj7 Open
I hope you find a little more time Remember we were partners in crime
It's only two years ago
The man with the suit and the pace You know that he was there on the case
Now he's in love with you,he's in love with you
And my love is like a prison wall
But you could leave me standing so t----a------ll
Chorus:
Gold; Always believe in your soul,
You've got the power to know
You're indestructible; Always believe i-n, because you are
Gold; Glad that you're bound to return,
There's something I could have learned
You're indestructable, always believe i-n
