[Verse 1]
When I was [E]younger[C] [G] [A]
A part-time job[E] worker[C] [G] [A]
Department store[E] centre[C] [G] [A]
I saw a man[E] enter[C] [G] [A]
He was[E] middle-aged[C] [G] [A]
Deep lines[E] on his face[C] [G] [A]
Tight mouth [E]and eyes glazed[C] [G] [A]
Eyelids just[E] half-raised[C] [G] [A]
[Cborus 1]
And I looked at [E]him, he [G]looked at[A] me
He looked so [E]sad, I [G]had to[A] see
What did he [E]want, what [G]could it[A] be
What had he [E]been through [G]before me[A]
Seeing him in the [D]store, I worked [C]for
That[E] year[C] [G] [A]
That[E] year[C] [G] [A]
[Verse 2]
Ice skates he [E]asked for[C] [G] [A]
In the middle of[E] summer[C] [G] [A]
He wanted a[E] good pair[C] [G] [A]
The price he did[E] not care[C] [G] [A]
I looked[E] for his size[C] [G] [A]
Our best pair[E] he tried[C] [G] [A]
Custom [E]back and sides[C] [G] [A]
Excitement[E] in his eyes[C] [G] [A]
[Cborus 2]
And I looked at [E]him, he [G]looked at[A] me
He looked so [E]sad, I [G]had to[A] see
What did he [E]want, what [G]could it[A] be
What had he [E]been through [G]before me[A]
Seeing him in the [D]store, I worked [C]for
That[E] year[C] [G] [A]
That[E] year[C] [G] [A]

[Verse 3]
I asked are[E] you a pro[C] [G] [A]
He looked sad and[E] said no[C] [G] [A]
These skates are [E]my last hope[C] [G] [A]
Without them I[E] cannot cope[C] [G] [A]
[Cborus 3]
And he said my [E]wife, she [G]drowned this[A] summer
Behind our [E]house, the [G]river[A] took her
I cannot [E]swim, I [G]need to[A] find her
I will [E]wait, till [G]it freezes [A]over
And then I will [D]skate, as far as it[C] takes
I will [D]skate, as far as it[C] takes
To bring her back[E] home[C] [G] [A]
To bring her back[E] home[C] [G] [A]
To bring her back[E] home[C] [G] [A]
Back[E] home
