Come Home For Christmas Matthew West

1 Verse:
            D                   F#m
How long has it been
                     G                            A
Since you felt that feeling of wonder?
                   D               F#m
Like a child wide awake
                    G                              A
Countin' down on Christmas Eve
                  Hm                        F#/C#
We're in such a hurry for life to begin
                   D                                   E
Do you ever just wish you could go back again?
  G                                  Gm
What if I told you the young and the old you
           Em           D/F#           G                     A
Are not quite as far apart as you might think?

Chorus:
                D                 F#m              G
Come home, come home, come home
                                  A
Come home for Christmas
  D                F#m       G             A
Let your heart return once again
               Hm
To the joy and the peace, 
        A                    
the love and the hope
             G
It's all right here waiting 
                D/F#                             Edim
for you to come home for Christmas
A                                      D    F#m  G   A
And come home for good

2 Verse:
                  D                    F#m
Turn around and you'll see
                    G
There's a light in the window 
               A
and a star on the tree
                   D                  F#m
Leave the past at the door
                  G
All the years and the tears, 
               A
let 'em fall to the floor
 Hm                                  F#/C#
Follow the sound of laughter and song
     D                   
Leading you back to the 
  E                                      G      A
place where you always belong

Chorus:
                D                 F#m              G
Come home, come home, come home
                                  A
Come home for Christmas
  D                F#m       G             A
Let your heart return once again
               Hm
To the joy and the peace, 
        A                    
the love and the hope
             G
It's all right here waiting 
                D/F#                             Edim
for you to come home for Christmas
A                                      D    
And come home for good

Bridge:
                                 G
Come home to a manger
                                 D                   A
Come home to a story that's still true
                                G
Come home to a Savior
                                         D                   A
Who came down from Heaven just for you
             D               F#m
How long has it been
                  G                                        A
Since you and your heart talked to Jesus?
