Capo 2 - written relative to capo
* = Barchord
E
EWhen you weAre alive, I was never alone
SomewhereE in the world, there was something called home
EAnd as long as you lived, I would be allright
AThere werEe reasons to win, and incentives to fight
A* E
Now I'm smoking again. I thought all that was through
Fm#* A* B*
And I don't wanna live. But what else can I do
B*
EAnd I feel liAke I've faked all that I ever did
And I'veE grown a gray beard, but I cry like a kid
EI was sevAen when I sang you'd rosin the bow
There inE Aunt Mary's kitchen and I don't guess I know
EThat it's whyA I've done this for all of this time
But now EI'm playing and singing, seems a game or a crime
A* E
People have called to find out if I'm fine
Fm#* A* B*
I assure them I am. But I'm not - it's a lie
B*
EThey say in the Aend, your good friends pull you through
But evEeryone knows, my best friend was you.
EHey, I've gotAten some help. I guess I was afraid
You supposEe something will happen when someone is paid
But I am gAetting better once again I'll be strong
After Eall, listen, I'm singing this song
A*
When you were alive I was never alone
B* A* E
Somewhere in the world there was something called home
ENow I feel likeA I'm homeless but I will be alright
I'll get thrEough the days. I'll face-down the night.
You're welcome!
