As recorded by the Indigo Girls (From the 2004 Album ALL THAT WE LET IN) [Intro] A D A E A D A E F#m D Bm7 E [Verse 1]
                A                 D
Dark clouds are coming in like an army

         A                       E
Soon the sky will open up and disarm me

         F#m     A                  D
You will go just like you've gone before

                       Bm
One sad soldier off to war

                       E
With enemies that only you can see
[Verse 2]
           A                  D
The dishes stacked, the table cleared

            A                                 E
It's always like the scene of the last supper here

             F#m                         D
You speak so cryptically, but that's not news to me

                         Bm
The flood is here, it'll carry you

             E
And I've got work to do
[Chorus]
        A
Come on home

                D                E           F#m
The team you're hitched to has a mind of its own

                  G              D                    A
But it's just the forces of your past you've fought before

                            D
Come back here and shut the door

             Bm                              D           A   D
I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your trouble
[Verse 3]
      A                    D
There is fire and there is lust

          A                                   E
Some will trade it all for someone they could trust

                 F#m                 D
There's a bag of silver for a box of nails

                        Bm
It's so simple the betrayal

                                E
Though it's known to change the world and what's to come
[Chorus]
             A
Just come on home

                D                E           F#m
The team you're hitched to has a mind of its own

                  G              D                    A
But it's just the forces of your past you've fought before

               E             D
Don't you recognize them any more?

             Bm7                  Bdim          D
I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your trouble
[Bridge]
                 Dm            A
There's the given and the expected

A7         D                 C#7             F#m
I count my blessings while I eye what I've neglected

A           D       C#7         F#m7
Is this for better, is this for worse?

A                 D          A              Bm  E
You're all jammed up and the dam's about to burst
[Verse 4]
           A          D
I hear the owl in the night

     A                                    E
I realize that some things never are made right

        F#m     A                D
By some will we string together here

        A                    Bm7
Days to months and months to years

                      E
What if everything we have adds up to nothing?
[Chorus]
A
Home (Come home)

                D                E           F#m
The team you're hitched to has a mind of its own

                  G              D                    A
But it's just the forces of your past you've fought before

          E                 D
Come back here and shut the door

             Bm                              D
I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your trouble
[Outro] A D A E F#m7 E D A Bm7 Esus4 A
