Loudon Wainwright Iii – Homeless chords

Homeless - Loudon Wainwright

Capo 2 - written relative to capo

* = Barchord

E
E					AWhen you were alive, I was never alone
		   	ESomewhere in the world, there was something called home
EAnd as long as you lived, I would be allright
A				EThere were reasons to win, and incentives to fight
A*			ENow 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*

E						AAnd I feel like I've faked all that I ever did
				EAnd I've grown a gray beard, but I cry like a kid
E				AI was seven when I sang you'd rosin the bow
				EThere in Aunt Mary's kitchen and I don't guess I know
E						AThat it's why I've done this for all of this time
				EBut now I'm playing and singing, seems a game or a crime
A*					EPeople 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*

E						   AThey say in the end, your good friends pull you through
			EBut everyone knows, my best friend was you.
E						AHey, I've gotten some help. I guess I was afraid
					EYou suppose something will happen when someone is paid
					ABut I am getting better once again I'll be strong
			EAfter all, listen, I'm singing this song

A*When you were alive I was never alone
B*			A*			ESomewhere in the world there was something called home

E					    ANow I feel like I'm homeless but I will be alright
						EI'll get through the days. I'll face-down the night.
