Summer’s end’s around the bend just flying

    D                                   F#m
The swimming suits are on the line just drying

      G                           A

I hope I didn’t ruin your whole vacation

Well you never know how far from home you’re feeling

Until you watch the shadows cross the ceiling

     G                             A
Well I don’t know but I can see it snowing

G                                A
In your car the windows are wide open
[Chorus]

Come on home

Come on home

Valentines break hearts and minds at random

         D                             F#m
That ol’ Easter egg ain’t got a leg to stand on

     G                                A
Well I can see that you can’t win for trying

    G                                    A
And New Year’s Eve is bound to leave you crying

The moon and stars hang out in bars just talking

I still love that picture of us walking

G                                       A
Just like that ol’ house we thought was haunted

G                                A
Summer’s end came faster than we wanted

No you don’t have to be alone

Just come on home.
