All credit to Pat and the gang for the song, check out their website for all the names and such. This song's in 3/4 time and it's a pretty simple folky tune, any questions to [email protected], hope you like the song as much as I do. [Intro] [E B A] x2 [Verse] [E B A] E B A The trains roll by my porch E B A Down here where nothing can live E B And I've been smoking too much C#m A Because I am no exception E B A You knew that already, I think 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] E C#m I'm coming home, it's late again B A I'm high as I've ever been E C#m You're sitting up, you're in our bed B A Crying for a ghost again E C#m No room could be as dark B A Or as empty as ours is E C#m 'Cause I'm at home but I'm not here B A And I never am [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] E C#m A My darling, I'm never coming back B From where I'm going E C#m A [You can play the B here, I usually don't] My darling, I'm never coming home E C#m A My darling, I'm never coming back B From where I'm going E C#m A My darling, I'm never coming home B [I usually finish on E but improvising a bit is nice] Never coming home again
