I have been obsessed with this song. I play piano by ear, and have played these
along with Bruce in the song. It's exactly dead on, I even got the little sweet instrumental
between the verses (that high piano note sound in the song, is "F, G, to G# 
with this part while listening to the cd and I promise you it will make sense. I suggest
with the notes of the chords and if possible play the Bb as an inversion. Enjoy The Boss!

G# (xx1114@1)                             D# (x43121@3)          B#
These things that have comforted me, I drive away
G# (xx1114@1)                  D# (x43121@3)           B#
This place that is my home I cannot stay

Note/Chord Bridge:

F(note only), G(note only) into G# chord (mess around with this while playing to Bruce
the song)...it will work
