[Intro]
G C G D
 
[Verse 1]
G                 C                           G
 February wears a sundress and a scarf in California
                         D
They don't know it's not July
G                            C
 But in my heart this pseudo summer doesn't fly
           G                                D
The winter blooms and every view'd catch my eye
 
[Chorus]
Em   C         G          D
Oh,      I cry out to the spring
Em       C      G       D
       Please redeem me
             G     C   G   D
And come back home
 
[Verse 2]
G                       C                             G
 I walk along the empty avenues when night is falling black
                             D
And window light picks up the slack
G                      C
 The universes pass me by in shiny cars
                G                                   D
I shoot through stars in search of someone searching back
 
[Chorus]
Em   C         G          D
Oh,      I cry out to the spring
Em       C      G       D
       Please redeem me
 
[Bridge]
             Em
And come back home
      C          G      D
Come back home, come home
Em          C          G      D
Home, come back home, come home
 
[Interlude]
G C G D   G C G D
 
[Verse 3]
G                      C
 Corner cafes, sipping coffee
                        G                                 D
Killing time, combining words to make the meaning fit the beat
G                          C                       G                     D
 I catch a gimpse of a new tinted sky on the horizon rising out ahead of me
 
[Chorus]
Em   C         G          D
Oh,      I cry out to the spring
Em       C      G       D
       Please redeem me
             G     C   G   D   G
And come back home
