[verse]
A           A/F#            A          A/F#
I wish that town would stop hurting my friends.
A           A/F#            A          E
I wish that town would stop hurting my friends.
E              E7      A
Bring them all back to me.


[verse]
A           A/F#             A         A/F#
I wish this world would stop taking my friends.
A           A/F#             A         E
I wish this world would stop taking my friends.
E              E7      A
Send them all home to me.


[chorus]
D              A/C#          Bm           A
Bring them all home they can sleep in our living room
D              A/C#          Bm           A
Send them all home there’s a back yard to roam
D              A/C#          Bm           A
Bring them all back to the place where they ought to be
D              A/C# Bm             E
Send them all back, bring them all home.
E7             A
Bring them all home.


[verse]
A              A/F#    
Some frozen in Boston
A             A/F# 
Some lost in Austin  
A                 A/F#       A          E
The west coast is lovely but what is it costing?
E              E7      A
Why not come home to me.


A            A/F#    
Fogged in in London.
A                   A/F#    
And knocked down in New York
A             A/F#  
Knocked up in Georgia
A               E      E7  A  A/F#
Or just gone in Oregon.


[chorus]
D              A/C#          Bm           A
Bring them all home they can sleep in our living room
D              A/C#          Bm           A
Send them all home there’s a back yard to roam
D              A/C#          Bm           A
Bring them all back to the place where they ought to be
D              A/C# Bm             E
Send them all back, bring them all home.
E7             A
Bring them all home.
