Homeless - Loudon Wainwright
Capo 2 - written relative to capo
* = Barchord

EA
When you were alive, I was never alone
E
Somewhere in the world, there was something called home
E
And as long as you lived, I would be allright
AE
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*
EA
And I feel like I've faked all that I ever did
E
And I've grown a gray beard, but I cry like a kid
EA
I was seven when I sang you'd rosin the bow
E
There in Aunt Mary's kitchen and I don't guess I know
EA
That it's why I've done this for all of this time
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
E
But everyone knows, my best friend was you.
EA
Hey, I've gotten some help. I guess I was afraid
E
You suppose something will happen when someone is paid
A
But I am getting better once again I'll be strong
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
E
I'll get through the days. I'll face-down the night.
You're welcome!
