[D][G][A][D][G][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]Dust falls
on the [G]empty halls of my [A]old school
Where the [D]memories fade like the [G]casualty,
a for[A]gotten fool
Now [D]wide-eyed has has be
[G]come the blind [A]of spoken rule
As [G]equal only deep is now [A]the word
The [G]lesson's not the answer
you once [A]heard

[Verse 2]
"Don't turn your [D]back on me,
don't [A]ever let me [G]down"
She said, "I [D]picked you up each
[A]time before you [G]hit the ground
[Em]Your[G] selfish face [D]is now erase[A]d
when someone men[G]tions you
And the darkness that you left
[A]is overstepped aside
Will [G]disappear in clouds, the sun ar[A]rives
[G]Within [D]a mile of home,
[G]wit[A]hin a mile of home"[G][A]

[Verse 3]
Oh [D]worry, oh my [G]worry
[D]has it been [A]that long?
The [D]whistle keeps on blow
[G]ing but [D]the [A]chills all gone
His empty [D]frame cannot [G]explain,
there's nothing [A]left inside
So [G]sing to me a song from yester[A]day
When [G]laughter filled the tears
that we now [A]make

[Verse 4]
"Don't turn your [D]back on me,
don't [A]ever let me [G]down"
She said, "I [D]picked you up each
[A]time before you [G]hit the ground
[Em]Your[G] selfish face [D]is now erase[A]d
when someone men[G]tions you
[D]If onl[G]y you had seen what I now see[A]
And [G]turned the corner where
you would of [A]been
With[G]in a mile of [D]home,
[G]wit[A]hin a mile of home"[D][G]

[F][Am][G]

[Verse 5]
So [F]sing to me, sing me [Am]a song,
a song from yester[G]day
And when the [F]laughter turned these tears before [Am]the prom[A]ises,
then they'll [G]slip [F]away[D]
Don't [G]turn your [F]back on me, don't't turn your [Am]back on me,
don't ever let me [G]down
Don't turn your [F]back on me, don't't turn your [Am]back on me,
don't ever let me [G]down
We are with[F]in a mile, we are with[Am]in a mile,
within a mile of [G]home
We are with[F]in a mile, we are with[Am]in a mile,
within a mile of [G]home
We are with[F]in a mile, we are [Am]within a mile,
within a mile of [G]home
We are with[F]in a mile, we are with[Am]in a mile,
within a mile [G]of home
