Verse 1
B             C#m                 A
 Living on my own, thinking for myself;
                  E                 B
Castles in the sand, temporary wealth.
                         C#m
The walls are falling down,
                        A
The storms are closing in
                   E                     B
Tears have filled my eyes, here I am again.

Pre-chorus
 Bsus B          C#m        A       E
     And I've held out as long as I can.
B           C#m             A           E Bsus
 Now I'm letting go and holding out my hand.

Chorus
C#m             A
 Daddy, here I am again.
         E                 Bsus B
Will You take me back tonight?
C#m                         A
 I went and made the world my friend,
       E                  B
And it left me high and dry.
  A                     C#m
I drag Your name back through the mud
       Bsus              F#m7
That You first found me in.
    A               C#m
Not worthy to be called Your son,
      Bsus         F#m7
Is this to be my end?
               C#m A   E        Bsus 
Daddy, here I am,   here I am again.
B C#m A E

Verse 2
Bsus B                     C#m
      Curse this morning sun!
                         A
Drags me into one more day
                        E
Of reaping what I've sown, 
                      B
Of living with my shame.
                 C#m                           A
Welcome to my world and the life that I have made,
                            E
Where one day you're a prince,
                          Bsus
The next day you're a slave.
