[Verso 1]
 
Am                                  G 
When you've been gone too long, you begin a kind of life 
Em                            E7           Am 
If you don't watch your step, boy, you can lose some things 
Am                     G 
Get tangled up in webs so far from your home 
Em                 E7          Am 
Should've cut yourself loose a long time ago 
 


[Refrão]
 
              C     G       F 
Been circling above now for so long 
             C 
I'm ready to come down 
        G 
Take me back 
        Am 
Take me back 
               C    G      F 
I wanna put my feet in the red ground 
                   C 
And take her in my arms 
        G 
Take me back 
        Am    G 
Take me back 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Am                            G 
When you've done built a wall clear around your heart 
Em                E7                Am 
The echoes of the past ring out and ricochet 
Am                              G 
But you're shooting like a star so far from your home 
Em                    E7           Am 
You should've cut yourself loose a long time ago 
 


[Refrão]
 
              C     G       F 
Been circling above now for so long 
             C 
I'm ready to come down 
        G 
Take me back 
        Am 
Take me back 
               C    G      F 
I wanna put my feet in the red ground 
                   C 
And take her in my arms 
        G 
Take me back 
        Am 
Take me back 
 


[Ponte]
 
                 Dm 
Feel the howling wind 
G#dim                             Am 
Smell the greasewood flower on my skin 
D                            G 
Listen to her voice soft and low 
    Edim                 F        Fm 
I'm signaling to traffic control 
 


[Refrão]
 
              C     G       F 
Been circling above now for so long 
             C 
I'm ready to come down 
        G 
Take me back 
        Am 
Take me back 
               C    G      F 
I wanna put my feet in the red ground 
                   C 
And take her in my arms 
        G 
Take me back 
        Am 
Take me back
