These are the chords to Come Back Soon by Andrew Peterson, off his album Light For The Lost Boy. Super awesome song, these are just the basic chords. God Bless! [Intro] C F C F G C F [Verse 1]
  C                       G         F
I remember the day of the Tennessee flood

    C                           G            F
The sound of the scream and the sight of the blood

   C                 G
My son he saw as the animal died

       F                      G
In the jaws of the dog as the river ran by

        Am    G    F
I said, "Come back soon."
[Instrumental] C F C F G C F [Verse 2]
     C                        G           F
It's there on the page of the book that I read

    C                   G            F
The boy grew up and the yearling was dead

   C                          G
He stood at the gate with the angel on guard

    F                         G
And wept for the death of his little boy heart

        Am   G    F
I say, "Come back soon."

Am   G    F     Am G F
Come back soon
[Chorus]
   G                       Am           F
We wake in the night in the womb of the world

  Am        G            F
We beat our fists on the door

   G                      Am       F
We cannot breathe in this sea that swirls

     Am        G          F
So we groan in this great darkness

                 C F G
For deliverance

C      F        G
Deliverance, O Lord
[Instrumental] C F C F G C F [Verse 3]
  C                      G            F
I sit on the bench at the bend in the trail

          C                   G      F
And I can feel in the fall the final exhale

    C                      G
The trees of the field all wring their hands

        F                   G
And the leaves go by like a funeral band

        Am   G    F
I say, "Come back soon."

Am   G    F
Come back soon
[Instrumental] Am G F (x2) [Chorus]
   G                        Am          F
We wake in the night in the womb of the world

   Am       G            F
We beat our fists on the door

   G                     Am        F
We cannot breathe in this sea that swirls

      Am       G          F
So we groan in this great darkness

      Am        G          F
Are we alone in this great darkness?
[Outro] G Am F Am G F G Am F [Verse 4]
   C               G            F
If nature's red in tooth and in claw

        C                G        F
Then it seems to me that she's an outlaw

C                       G
'Cause every death is a question mark

       F                   G
At the end of the book of a beating heart

        Am                        G
And the answer is scrawled in the silent dark

       F                    G
On the dome of the sky in a billion stars

       Am                G
But we cannot read these angel tongues

       F                   G
And we cannot stare at the burning sun

       Am                       G
And we cannot breathe with these broken lungs

      F                       G
So we kick in the womb and we beg to be born

Am F G
Deliverance!

Am F G
Deliverance, O Lord!

Am F G
Deliverance!
[Outro] C F C F G C F
