A                                             D                          E
Streak the windows, smear the walls with coconut oil, yeah

A                                             D                          E
Fill a cast iron kettle with water and magnolia blossoms

F#m                           
Let it boil, let the water roll. 

D                    E                           A  D E
Let the fire take its toll. I'm coming home

A                                              D                    E
Dust off the idols, give them something to eat

A                                              D                    E
I bet they're hungry, I know I'm starving half to death

F#m                                       D                        E
I know you're waiting, I know you've been waiting for a long, long time 

A                                        D                          E
and I'm coming home

C#m                     D                            
Set the table, those three extra spaces, one for 

A                                     E
me, one for your doubts, one for God

A                         D             E
Let the incense burn in every room

A                               D                   E
Feel the fullness of time in the empty tomb

A                      D                   E
Feel the future kicking in your womb

               A                          D                          E
I'm coming home. I'm coming home
