C Cmaj7 Cadd9 Emb13 Em Em7 x2 [Verse 1]
         C
Like the flutter of your fingertips,

         C
Like the flickering of lights,

        Em
They've got their bright ideas but we've got bigger fish to fry.

C
Found you out there on your doorstep,

C
Undressed to the nines.

          Em
From your Sunday best, black and blue velvet

Em
dress. Your head's a mess and so is mine.
[Chorus]
Em  C            G
 Oh Dorothy, I'm coming home,

  Am
I hope you're waiting there.

Em G                    Am
 I know times have been tough on you,
It's all downhill from here.
Em  C          G                  Am                 Em
 Oh Dorothy, inside that dreadful place deep in your heart,

     G              Am                         C
It's beckoning, I'm racing to your doorway Dorothy.

        Do-ro-thy
[Verse 2]
         C
Like the scratching sounds of insects,

  C
Beneath the blades and soil.

      Em
We'll begin the plot to get away,

   Em
To ends as black as oil.

         C
Now it's pounding in the ear,

        C
Left in left field for you to find.

   Em
Outside of your peripherals

Em
vision of this never ending night.
[Chorus]
Em  C            G
 Oh Dorothy, I'm coming home,

  Am
I hope you're waiting there.

Em G                    Am
 I know times have been tough on you,
It's all downhill from here.
Em  C          G                  Am                 Em
 Oh Dorothy, inside that dreadful place deep in your heart,

     G              Am                         G
It's beckoning, I'm racing to your doorway Dorothy.
[Bridge] G Bm Em D
       G
It's a strange world, isn't it?

     G
Such strange times to be living in.

        Bm
I had a change of heart tonight,

       Em                 D
When I watched her walk into the light.

       G
It's a strange world isn't it?

     G
Such strange times to be living in.

        Bm
I had a change of heart tonight,

       Em                 D
When I watched her walk into the light.

C   C
  I watched her walk into the light.
