You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research.* *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------* Released on February 9th 2004, "Come On Home" is part of Franz Ferdinand's debut album. This track follows a sparkly guitar melody, with several muting and staccato strums, the main riff uses tremolo picking, which gives the tune an incessant forward pull; also, Nick McCarthy changes from guitar to a reed organ to play an hypnotizing refrain melody.

Am F Although my lover lives in a place that I can't live C E7 I kind of find I like a life this lonely Am F It rips and pierces me in places I can't see C E7 I love the rip of nerves, the rip that wakes me Am F So I'm dissatisfied, I love dissatisfied C E7 I love to feel there's always more that I need CHORUS

Am F You're where you want to be, I'm where I want to be C E7 Come on, we're chasing everything we've ever wanted Am F I replace you easily, replace pathetically C E7 I flirt with any flighty thing that falls my way Am F But how I needed you, when I needed you C E7 Let's not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong CHORUS
