WHY CAN'T I COME HOME?
As recorded by Ed Bruce
(From the 1968 Album IF I COULD JUST GO HOME)
Capo 2nd fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C Em F Am
If I could find the strength I need to do the thing I should
G C F C
I just walk on out that door be and be rid of you for good
F Em F Am
But a man ain't always strong enough to tell himself that he's been wrong
C Em F G C
Why can't I just come home one night and you'd be gone?
[Verse 2]
C Em F Am
If I had only known the thoughts that went on in your mind
G C F C
Then I could have left you to the others of your kind
F Em F Am
I know that I should leave you now but I just ain't that strong
C Em F G C
Why can't I just come home one night and you'd be gone?
[Verse 3]
C Em F Am
I cried things you do to me that make me live with shame
G C F C
Everybody knows how loosely you have worn my name
F Em F Am
I guess I've got more love and pride even though my love's all wrong
C Em F G C
Why can't I just come home one night and you'd be gone?
