A great song from OMD's 2010 album, "History Of Modern"
Intro: C F Dm G C F Dm G
C F
If all the things you said were right
C F
How come you can't go home tonight
G
You're frightened on your own
F
Scared to be alone
C
In your head
G
Not at home
Dm G
And all the things you say and do
Dm G
Won't take the fear away from you
C F
And so you're once again tonight
Dm
Just praying for the light
G
When thoughts that haunt you so
C
Will slowly let you go
F
And once again the dread
Dm
Is burning in your head
G
You try but can't let go
C
This pain that kills you so
C F Dm G C F Dm G

C F
If all the things you say were true
C F
Why can't you start this game anew
G F
It's nothing that was said, it's only in your head
C G
But the dread, oh God the dread
Dm G
And all the things you say and do
Dm G
Won't take the fear away from you
C F
And so we're once again tonight
Dm
Just praying for the light
G
When thoughts that haunt you so
C
Will slowly let you go
F
And once again the dread
Dm
Is burning in your head
G
You try but can't let go
C
This pain that kills you so
C F
And so we're once again tonight
Dm
Just praying for the light
G
When thoughts that haunt you so
C
Will slowly let you go
F
And once again the dread
Dm
Is burning in your head
G
You try but can't let go
Am
This pain that kills you so
Coda: Am G F E (to fade)
