Come on home.

You've been gone too long, baby.
Am G Dm7 Am G Dm7
We can't let our hero die a-lone.

F C G Dm
Remember Genie, from the ca-sino?

It's not there in the gin,
Am G Dm7
That makes you laugh long and loud.
Am G Dm7
You're a coward, James;

You're running a-way from humanity.

You're running out on reality.

It won't be funny, when they rat-a-tat-tat you down.
