[Verse 1]
Em Gm Em D
She walked with the pushchair, up to the swings
Am Em
He sat there waiting, flapping his wings
Am C
Like she kept him waiting, as fumes filled the air
F Am
The kids in the sand pit had marked out a square
Em Gm Em D
He threw down his dog end, and he turned to the wind
Am Em
She looked to the distance but didn’t see him
Am C
They barked at each other, the playing began
F Am
She bit on her lip, as his temperature swang
[Chorus]
G Am
La, la-la-la
Em D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
G Am
La, la-la-la
Em D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
G Am
There's a tightrope between them
[Verse 2]
Em Gm Em D
She walked with the pushchair, way down through the trees
Am Em
He walked dead behind them, as if on his knees
Am C
To make up and salvage the rest of their lives
F Am
He promised to change things without compromise
[Verse 3]
Em Gm Em D
The sun cast a shadow so long on the ground
Am Em
His feet wet beneath him, his head back in town
Am C
As they sat there talking, his words felt like ice
F Am
Her heart slowly soften to his surprise
[Chorus]
G Am
La, la-la-la
Em D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
G Am
La, la-la-la
Em D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
G Am
There's a tightrope between them
[Bridge]
Em F D
She almost believed him, she almost gave in
F Em
But her intuition flew back in the wind
F D
And he was left wanting at the foot of the stairs
F
As love was left standing
[Instrumental]
Bm C | Em | Bm C | Em |
[Bridge 2]
Bm C Em
The pushchair was folded and slung in the car
Bm C Am
They made it to her place, had they come too far
D Am
To witness the humour to feel it inside
F Em D G
As love was left standing
[Chorus]
G Am
La, la-la-la
Em D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
G Am
La, la-la-la
Em D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
G Am
There's a tightrope between them
[Chorus]
G Am
La, la-la-la
Em D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
G Am
La, la-la-la
Em D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
G Am
There's a tightrope between them
