[Intro]
Em | Em |

[Verse 1]
Em                      Gm     Em        D
She walked with the pushchair, up to the swings
             Am                    Em
He sat there waiting, flapping his wings
                  Am                           C
Like she kept him waiting, as fumes filled the air
                F                         Am
The kids in the sand pit had marked out a square
Em                    Gm   Em                   D
He threw down his dog end, and he turned to the wind
                  Am                      Em
She looked to the distance but didn’t see him
                    Am                   C
They barked at each other, the playing began
               F                       Am
She bit on her lip, as his temperature swang

[Chorus]
G         Am
La, la-la-la
           Em                D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
G         Am
La, la-la-la
           Em                D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
          G           Am
There's a tightrope between them

[Verse 2]
Em                      Gm     Em                   D
She walked with the pushchair, way down through the trees
                 Am                      Em
He walked dead behind them, as if on his knees
               Am                        C
To make up and salvage the rest of their lives
               F                           Am
He promised to change things without compromise

[Verse 3]
Em             Gm     Em             D
The sun cast a shadow so long on the ground
               Am                          Em
His feet wet beneath him, his head back in town
                  Am                           C
As they sat there talking, his words felt like ice
                 F                Am
Her heart slowly soften to his surprise

[Chorus]
G         Am
La, la-la-la
           Em                D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
G         Am
La, la-la-la
           Em                D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
          G           Am
There's a tightrope between them

[Bridge]
Em           F                           D
She almost believed him, she almost gave in
            F                      Em
But her intuition flew back in the wind
                F                          D
And he was left wanting at the foot of the stairs
                 F
As love was left standing

[Instrumental]

[Bridge 2]
    Bm            C          Em
The pushchair was folded and slung in the car
     Bm         C              Am
They made it to her place, had they come too far
   D                     Am
To witness the humour to feel it inside
   F                 Em  D G
As love was left standing

[Chorus]
G         Am
La, la-la-la
           Em                D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
G         Am
La, la-la-la
           Em                D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
          G           Am
There's a tightrope between them

[Chorus]
G         Am
La, la-la-la
           Em                D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
G         Am
La, la-la-la
           Em                D
Cathy come home, don't walk alone
          G           Am
There's a tightrope between them

[Outro]
