Homeless by Loudon Wainwright III
Homeless
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo 2 - written relative to capo
* = Barchord
E A
When you were alive, I was never alone
B A E
Somewhere in the world, there was something called home
A
And as long as you lived, I would be alright
B A E
There were 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*
E A
And I feel like I've faked all that I ever did
B A E
And I've grown a gray beard, but I cry like a kid
A
I was seven when I sang you'd rosin the bow
B A E
There in Aunt Mary's kitchen and I don't guess I know
A
That it's why I've done this for all of this time
B A E
But now I'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*
E A
They say in the end, your good friends pull you through
B A E
But everyone knows, my best friend was you.
E A
Hey, I've gotten some help. I guess I was afraid
B A E
You suppose something will happen when someone is paid
A
But I am getting better once again I'll be strong
B A E
After all, 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
E A
Now I feel like I'm homeless but I will be alright
B A E
I'll get through the days. I'll face-down the night.
