Intro: 
C Csus2 Am Csus2 x2 

verse 1: 

    C                            Csus2 
The candles on the table lit you up, 
      Am               Csus2     
And I wondered if we'd done enough. 
    C                               Csus2 
The blackout came to slow down everyone 
       Am                        Csus2 
And it spoke to us, said "you've had your fun". 

verse 2: 

    C                              Csus2 
The autumn in your eyes, it lit me up. 
        Am                      Csus2 
I was a fallen leaf, you were a firework. 
     C                               Csus2 
When winter came, I tried to keep us warm 
         Am                       Csus2     
At least warmer than... than we'd been before. 

       F   C    Csus2        F   C    Csus2 
On our way back home, on our way back home. 
       F   C    Csus2        F   C    Csus2 
On our way back home, on our way back home.

verse 3: 

  C                                  Csus2 
I pulled you close to me and soon forgot 
            Am                        Csus2     
About those heavy hearts, about those other ones. 
    C                               Csus2 
The blackout came to slow down everything 
          Am                         Csus2 
That we'd come to know, we still had songs to sing. 

       F   C    Csus2        F   C    Csus2 
On our way back home, on our way back home. 
       F   C    Csus2        F   C    Csus2 
On our way back home, on our way back home.

Outro: 

    C                            Csus2 
The candles on the table lit you up, 
      Am               Csus2  
And I wondered if we'd done enough.
