E B A (repeat) 

E            B                A   E        B  A 
So tired of listening to the politicians 
E                      B       A        E    B  A 
You can't believe what you see in the news 
E                   B      A      E        B  A 
Lawyers trial with motions and revisions 
E                   B         A         E   B  A 
To spin a tale, to tip the scales of truth 

I work hard to make an honest living 
I do my best in everything I do 
Whether it's 9 to 5, football, cars, or fishin' 
E                   B       A        E 
I'm comin' home to hug and kiss on you 

C#m        A            B                    E 
No lies or alibis, it's all so clear when I look in your eyes 
         A                 (bass: A         C#) 
Like an arrow shot, bullseye, straight and true 
          B 
Like the Mississippi flows into the bayou 

Chorus: 
     E      B       A       B 
I'm coming home to see you baby 
           E           B      A       B 
You're the one thing that I know for sure 
E     B            E      A 
In a world that's goin' crazy 
          F#m                    E 
You're a matter of survival, my heart and soul revival 
      A                            B                      A 
Swear on a stack of Bibles, cross my heart and I will be here 
 B   A  B                   E  B A 
For you, and that's the truth 

When I'm lost in the chaos and confusion 
You're the light that leads me to the shore 
I tell you girl in a world full of illusions 
You're the ray of truth that I've been looking for 

Now I'm late on the interstate 
Radio on at the end of the day 
Got the pedal to the medal, got the top rolled down 
I wanna scream and shout about the love we found 

CHORUS 

Bridge:E B A B 
       F# C# B C# 

Like an arrow shot, bullseye, straight and true 
Like the Mississippi flows into the bayou 

CHORUS 2x 

E B A (x3)    E
