Biography:
In the past three years Matthew Mayfield has both redefined himself and redefined how a musician can record and release music. When Matthew’s previous band, Moses Mayfield, which signed with Epic when he was only 21, disbanded at the close of 2007, the Birmingham-based musician was forced to decide how to proceed with his life. A working musician since the age of 18, he only knew songwriting, recording, and touring. “All I ever wanted to be was a rock 'n roll star,” Matthew says. “When the band broke up, I knew I had to keep pushing."

[Verse 1]
C (F) (C) G
Lay me down on, shores of the whitest sand
C (F)(Am) C (Am) G
Soft like that woman, with the fight of a thousand men
[Pre-Chorus]
C/E G F G
And if you find the key, would you set me free
C/E G F G
If you find the key, would you set me free
[Chorus]
C Dm Am G
I'm screaming to God, would you come and save
C F Am G
What you've either forgot, or you're strengthening
C F Am G
Cause I've finally paid the toll, and it's all open road
C F Am G
Just trying to find a home, take me home
[Verse 2]
C (F) (C) G
Violet iris, and lilies in bloom for spring
C Am Am C G
Enticing the silence, a song that we all can sing
[Bridge]
F
We're tired and changing, heartbeats are fading
G
Our days are numbered, the clocks, they keep ticking
F
I've been deserted, my feelings perverted
G
By a pissed off and ripped off, machine cycle circus
F
We look in the mirror, it shatters with shame
G
And our faces are bloody, and sour with disdain
F
I have seen what you are, I have seen who I am
G
And we are desperate, we're desperate, we're desperate
C F C/E G C F C/E G
For home, ho-o-ome, home, ho-o-ome
