[Verse 1]
C E
Fog lifts from the harbor, dawn goes down today
Am F
An agent crests the shadows of the nearby alleyway
C E
Piles of broken bricks, sign posts on the path
Am F
Every moment points towards the aftermath, yeah
[Interlude]
C Dm F F
C Dm F F
[Verse 2]
C E
Sailors straggle back from their nights out on the town
Am F
Hopeless urchins from the city gather round
C E
Spies from imperial China wash in with the tide
Am F
Every battle heads toward surrender on both sides
[Chorus]
C Am
And I am coming home to you
F C G
With my own blood in my mouth
C Am
And I am coming home to you
F G C
If it’s the last thing that I do
[Interlude]
C Dm F F

C Dm F F
[Verse 3]
C E
Bells ring in the tower, wolves howl in the hills
Am F
Chalk marks show up on a few high windowsills
C E
And a rabbit gives up somewhere, and a dozen hawks descend
Am F
Every moment leads toward its own sad end, yeah
[Interlude]
C Dm F F
C Dm F F
[Verse 4]
C E
Ships loosed from their mornings capsize and then they’re gone
Am F
Sailors with no captains watch awhile and then move on
C E
And an agent crests the shadows and I head in her direction
Am F
All roads lead toward the same blocked intersection
[Chorus]
C Am
And I am coming home to you
F C G
With my own blood in my mouth
C Am
And I am coming home to you
F G C
If it’s the last thing that I do
[Outro]
