This is pretty close, you may need to play with the "And now..." a bit.
Like walk down C B A , bend F 1/4 step, to Am, maybe.
[Verse]
D                       C
It's been so long since I've been gone
D                 C               D
Another day might be too long for me-e-e
D                     C
Traveling around I've had my fill
D                    C       D 
Of broken dreams and di-r-ty d-e-als
[Verse]
D                    C
A concrete jungle surrounding me
D                C                D
Many nights I've slept out in the streets
D                    C
I paid my dues and I changed my style
D               C        D
Seen hard times all over now
[Chorus]
Am                 C
I want to come home
C                                  G/F#
It's been so long since I've been away
    D             Am                        C
And please, don't blame me 'cause I've tried
C                           G/F#          D
I'll be coming home soon to your love... stay-ay-ay
[Verse]
D                       C
I miss old friends that I once had
D                          C                 D   C  D
The times they changed and I'll be glad when I - go home
D                         C
I don't know why this all came to me
D                  C            D
But why I'm here I really can't see
C   D
And now... (oh-o)
[Chorus]
Am
I want to come home
C                                  G/F#
It's been so long since I've been away
    D                   Am                        C
And plee-ee-ease, don't blame me 'cause I've tried
C                           G/F#         D      Bb
I'll be coming home soon to your love... staaay
[Bridge]
C             D
Coming home to stay
D              Bb
Coming home to your love, mama
C                D
I've seen better days
[Verse]
D                       C
I miss old friends that I once had
D                       C                 D   C  D
Times ain't changed and I'll be glad when I - go home
D                            C
I don't know why the thought came to me
D                  C            D
But why I'm here I really can't see-e-e
C   D
And now...
[Chorus]
Am                 C
I want to come home
C                                  G
It's been so long since I've been away
    D             Am                        C
And please, don't blame me 'cause I've tried
C                           G/F#          D   Bb
I'll be coming home soon to your love... stay
[Bridge]
C              D
Coming home to stay
D               Bb
Coming home to your love, mama
C                D
I've seen better days
