Intro: [E B A] x2
Verse: [E B A]
E The trBains roll bAy my porch
EDown here where Bnothing can Alive
And I've been Esmoking too Bmuch
Because IC#m am no exAception
You Eknew that alBready, I Athink
If you want salvation
Then you ought to go see a priest
'Cause forgiveness from those that we hurt
In this world never was guaranteed
Chorus: [E C#m B A]
I'm Ecoming home, it's C#mlate again
I'm high as BI've ever Abeen
You're Esitting up, you're C#min our bed
Crying Bfor a ghost agaAin
No Eroom could be as C#mdark
Or as empBty as ours Ais
'Cause EI'm at home but C#mI'm not here
And BI never Aam
Verse: [E B A]
I wonder how many friends
Roll past my house in the night?
In boxcars they sleep
With hearts stashed in their backpacks
They'll make California all right
A promise from me
Is just a lie I ain't told yet
So I'm ready to die
But I'm not willing to watch
You watch me die here in our bed
Chorus: [E C#m B A]
I'm lying down, I've been nodding out
Since I don't know when
The lights are on, you're standing up
Screaming at a ghost again
Darling, I'm home; hell I ain't left
This house of ours in days
But I'm not here; I never am
So I just can't stay
Outro: [E C#m A B]
My Edarling, I'm C#mnever coming baAck
From where I'm Bgoing
E C#m A [You can play the B here, I usually don't]
My darling, I'm never coming home
My Edarling, I'm C#mnever coming bAack
From where I'm gBoing
My Edarling, I'm C#mnever coming hAome
B [I usually finish on E but improvising a bit is nice]
Never coming home again
