Verse 1:
(nc)
5,000 miles is a lot to eat
(nc)
But I've got stomach and I've got teeth
(nc)
Oh, I'm not a god, oh, I'm not a genius
(nc)
But I'll figure out how to drink the ocean between us
(nc)
5,000 miles is a lot to run
(nc)
But I'll force my legs and fight my lungs
(nc)
I'm fifteen, a machine, I'll make it through
(nc)
I'm a stranger to your body but I already love you

Chorus:
     Gbm
Babe, I'm coming back, just you wait
     A
I'm running a little late
     Gbm
But in five years I'll be at your doorstep, I know
    A
I know, I know I'm late, but I'm home
Gbm
I'm coming back, just so you know
  A
I'm sorry love, it's taking slow
  Gbm
But in five years I'll be at your doorstep, I know
  A
I know, I know I'm late, but I'm home

Verse 2:
(nc)
Oh god, what a brutal scene
(nc)
Falling in love on a screen
(nc)
I abused a pen, fake memories we drew
(nc)
Piles of plans waiting to come true
(nc)
But we know now those are things we'll never do
(nc)
'Cause I've moved on and so have you
(nc)
But I'm in your city on tour five years late
(nc)
And I'm only fifteen minutes away

Chorus:
 Gbm
Babe, I'm coming back, just you wait
     A
I'm running a little late
 Gbm
But in five years I'll be at your doorstep, I know
   A
I know, I know I'm late, but I'm home
  Gbm
But I won't knock, I won't go to your door
 A
'Cause my love, I don't know you anymore
 Gbm
But I did what I promised, I did what I swore
 A
And soldier, I brought my body to your door

Verse 3:
(nc)
So I drove by your house five years late
(nc)
I saw your dad pulling in the gate
(nc)
I'm sorry, my love, I just couldn't leave it
(nc)
The little kid in me just had to see it
(nc)
Stared in silence watching the fake memories play
(nc)
I saw me running, calling your name
(nc)
And I burst in that hug with all that we are
(nc)
Crying in the memory and crying in the car
 Gbm
The kid who loved you is screaming, "No"
  A
'Cause I won't let her go say hello
 Gbm
Yeah, I turn my car around, not giving response
 A
'Cause I'm driving from all that she wants
 Gbm
I talk to the kid in the backseat
 A
Baby, I saw his house, I saw the street
 Gbm
And it's not fair, I was there through the glass
  A
While you're helpless and stuck in the past

Bridge:
I like to play N.C. for this, but she strums it.

 Gbm
Oh, soldier, I am home
 A
But soon I'm gonna have to go
 Gbm
Hope you have everything we couldn't
 A
Hope time gave you what for us it wouldn't

(Start strumming if you weren't already)

 Gbm
I'm out in the air unseen
 A
Surrounded by evergreen
 Gbm
All I wanted so brutally
 A
Is in front of me ruthlessly
 Gbm
Like a childhood idol
 A
Never met, but I know it
 Gbm
It changes regardless
 A
And time is heartless

Outro:
(nc)
Late that night I played your home state
(nc)
I sing songs that are baked with your name
(nc)
I'm on stage next door, I'm just passing through
(nc)
Telling strangers all about you
(nc)
Babe, I'm coming back just you wait
(nc)
I'm running a little late
(nc)
Yeah, in five years I was at your doorstep I know
(nc)
I know, I know I'm letting you go
(nc)
Goodbye, evergreen soldier, Dew
(nc)
All the strangers are singing about you
