View chords used in this chart
Intro: E B A (2x)
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
[Refrão] 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
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
Never coming home again
