D G (riff 1) You say you're coming home but you won't say when

^GBut I can feel it coming ^CIf you leave tonight keep running

^DAnd you need never look back ^Gagain ^G ^G/F#

Repeat Refrain x 1 Solo (It will help if you have a guitar with 24 frets with this, otherwise you'll be doing some SERIOUS string bending!) I'll admit that the tab is NOT exact, but if you listen to the track you'll get a better idea of the timing/picking.

h = hammer on p = pull off / = bend note up : = fast picking - can't be bothered to work out the exact timings etc. Play the last note "many" times
