Crowded House, Better Be Home Soon (1988)
^{Key: :[A] (w: Neil Finn)}

VERSE 1:
[A] Somewhere deep in-[F#m]-side
Something's got a [C#m7] hold on you [E]
And it's [A] pushing me a-[F#m]-side
see it stretch on for-[C#m7]-ever [E]

CHORUS:
And I know I'm [A] right [A7]
for the first time in [D] my life
That's why I [E] tell you
you'd better be home [A] soon [E open]

VERSE 2:
[A] Stripin' back the [F#m] codes
of lies and de-[C#m7]-ception [E]
[A] Back to nothing-[F#m]-ness
Like a week in the [C#m7] desert [E]

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
[E/G] Don't say no
[B] don't say nothing's [E] wrong
[E/G] 'Cause when you get back home
[F#7] maybe I'll be [B] gone, oh [Aadd9] oohh

INSTRUMENTAL:

VERSE 3:
[A] It would cause me [F#m] pain
If we where to [C#m7] end it [E]
But [A] I could start a-[F#m]-gain
Well you can de-[C#m7]-pend on it [E]

REPEAT CHORUS:

OUTRO:
That's why I [E] tell you
You'd better be home [A] soon
