Home Life
Tuning:D G C F A D
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Asus4 Dadd4
Asus4 Dadd4
x2
[Verse 1]
Asus4 Dadd4
I think I'm going to stay home
Asus4 Dadd4
Have myself a home life
Asus4 Dadd4
Sitting in the slow-mo
Asus4 Dadd4
And listening to the daylight
Asus4 Dadd4
I am not a nomad
Asus4 Dadd4
I am not a rocket man
Asus4 Dadd4
I was born a house cat
Asus4 Dadd4
By the slight of my mother's hand
Asus4 N.C.
I think I'm going to stay home
[Pre-Chorus]
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4
I want to live in the center of a circle
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4
I want to live on the side of a square
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4
I used to be in my M-Z now
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4
You'll never find me 'cause my name isn't there
[Chorus]
Csus2
Home life
Csus2
Been holding out for a home life
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4
My whole life
[Verse 2]
Asus4 Dadd4
I want to see the end game
Asus4 Dadd4
I want to learn her last name
Asus4 Dadd4
Finish on a Friday
Asus4 Dadd4
And sit in traffic on the highway
Asus4 Dadd4
See, I refuse to believe
Asus4 Dadd4
That my life's going to be
Asus4 Dadd4
Just some string of incompletes
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4 Csus2
Never to lead me to anything remotely close to a home life
[Chorus]
Csus2
Been holding out for a home life
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4
My whole life
[Bridge]
F6/9
I can tell you this much
II will marry just once
C
And if it doesn't work out
Give her half of my stuff
A Asus4 A
It's fine with me
Bm7add4
We said eternity
F6/9
And I will go to my grave
With the life that I gave
C
Not just some melody line
On a radio wave
A Asus4 A
It dissipates
Bm7add4
And soon evaporates
F6/9
But home life doesn't change (home life doesn't change)
[Pre-Chorus]
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4
I want to live in the center of a circle
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4
I want to live on the side of a square
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4
I'd love to walk to where we both can talk, but
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4
I've got to leave you cause my ride is here
[Chorus]
Fsus2
In my home life
C
You take the home life
Fsus2
You keep the home life
Em7add4
I'll come back for the home life
I promise
Home life I promise
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4
Life
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4
Home life
Asus4 Dadd4 Asus4 Dadd4
Home life

version 2
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
** The verses are floating a lot of
ambiguous chords over a G mixolydian
scale (G A B C D E F). It's easiest
to just play a G chord. I did have some
success with this sound:
[Verse 1]
G13 323030
F6/9 x33030
[Chorus and subsequent Verses]
F5 130000
G6 350000
[slide the power chords while playing open strings]
F6/9 x33030
BbM7* x13230
[Bridge]
Eb6 x6556x
F/Bb 687x6x
G11 3x5500
Am11 x05530
Cm9/Eb x6553x
["home life" at end of song]
EbM9 x6576x
Eb6 x6556x
BbM7 6x776x
