[Verse 1]
C               Em
I had two sons, one of them loved me
G
The other one
C               Em
He wanted out, and I loved him too much
G
To hold him down
C                          Em
I gave him what he wanted, then he took off
G
Down the road
C                      Em
It shattered my heart, to watch my son walk out
G
And leave town
 
[Pre-chorus]
D           C
 I gave him all he needed
D         C
 I told everyone I saw
 
[Chorus]
G                B7
If you see my son, tell him I''''m waiting
C
For his return
   G            G B7
And I don''''t care, what he''''s done
C             G
I just wanna, have him home again
G                       B7
I''''d hug his neck and I''''d kiss his cheek
          C
Oh, I''''d hold him one more time
    G           G B7
And I don''''t care what he''''s done
C            G
I just wanna, have him home again
N.C.                      G
I wish he was home again, again
B7              C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 
(Build up on C until verse and then soft C)
 
 
[Verse 2]
C              Em
I made it out, I had my money
G
Ready to spend
C                   Em
Stuck in that house, didn''''t want to miss out
  G
On the world
 C                   Em
I bought all I could, kissed every girl
 G
To feel again
C             Em
I cried every night
G
Maybe I''''ve made the wrong choice
 
[Pre-chorus]
D        C
I had all I needed
 D               C
I told everyone I saw
 
[Chrous]
G                  B7
If you see my dad, tell him I''''m sorry
C
That I''''m not home
G              G B7
And I''''m ashamed, of what I''''ve done
                  C
I just hope he''''ll, have me home again
G                      B7
He''''d hold my neck, and kiss my cheek
              C
Oh, if he''''ll hold me one more time
G                 G B7
And I''''m ashamed of what I''''ve done I just hope he''''ll
C
Have me home again
N.C.
I wish I was home again, again
G           C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 
[Verse 3]
C                      Em
It''''s been five months, since that day
G
He walked out
C                     Em
Sitting on my porch, praying he remembers
G
The love I have
C               Em
I see a glimpse, a silhouette
G
Far away
C             Em
It was my boy, I ran straight to him
G
As fast as I could
 
[Pre-Chorus]
D                    C
I''''ll give him all he needs
D                 C
The wait was over today
 
[Chorus]
G             B7
I saw my son, and I have waited
C
For his return
G            G B7
I didn''''t care, what he''''d done
          C
I finally, had him home again
G                    G B7
I hugged his neck and I kissed his cheek
      C
Oh I hold him one more time
G              B7
I didn''''t care, what he''''d done
              C        G
I finally had him home again
C
My son is home
G
I am home again
