[Verse]
                                 C             G
The rain is beating hard and cold on my window pane
                                C               G     D
It's four o'clock in the morning and I'm awake again
                               G            C      G
I know the phone won't ring at this time of day
                          D
Even if it did, I wouldn't know what to say

[Chorus]
         Em              D       G          C
And I've got to get back home to you, sweet love
                     D       G     C    G
I've got to get back home to you

[Verse]
                                C                  G
When the music played so sweet, we were dancing in time
                                     C               G
I tripped over my two left feet and I stepped out of line
       D                            G                  C      G
When I came to my senses, I looked 'round and you were gone
                                 D
The dance floor was empty, I was dancing alone

[Chorus]
         Em              D       G          C
And I've got to get back home to you, sweet love
                     D       G     C    G
I've got to get back home to you

[Verse]
                                C                   G
I'm going to buy a black guitar, I want to play the blues
                                       C               G   D
I'll get a snakeskin jacket, a pair of alligator shoes
                                      G                 C      G
I'll maybe try a slide guitar, I just love the sound it makes
                               D
When it comes down to the wire, I'll do anything it takes

[Chorus]
         Em              D       G          C
And I've got to get back home to you, sweet love
                     D       G
I've got to get back home to you

I could write you a poem, but I've done that before
                            C             G
Tokens of a poet's love you don't need anymore
     D                                 G                    C      G
It's got to be fundamental, I know you want it straight and true
                                    D
I'll give you all I've got, 'cause I owe it all to you

[Chorus]
         Em              D       G          C
And I've got to get back home to you, sweet love
                     D       G
I've got to get back home to you

[Chorus]
         Em              D       G          C
And I've got to get back home to you, sweet love
                     D
I've got to get back home
     C               D
I've got to get back home
     C               D       G    C   G
I've got to get back home to you
