Homeless - Loudon Wainwright

Capo 2 - written relative to capo

* = Barchord

EE					AWhen (x02220@1)you were alive, I was never alone
		   	ESomewhere (022100@1)in the world, there was something called home
EAnd (022100@1)as long as you lived, I would be allright
A (x02220@1)		EThere (022100@1)were reasons to win, and incentives to fight
A*			ENow (022100@1)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*

E (022100@1)				AAnd (x02220@1)I feel like I've faked all that I ever did
				EAnd (022100@1)I've grown a gray beard, but I cry like a kid
E (022100@1)		AI (x02220@1)was seven when I sang you'd rosin the bow
				EThere (022100@1)in Aunt Mary's kitchen and I don't guess I know
E (022100@1)				AThat (x02220@1)it's why I've done this for all of this time
				EBut (022100@1)now I'm playing and singing, seems a game or a crime
A*					EPeople (022100@1)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 (022100@1)				   AThey (x02220@1)say in the end, your good friends pull you through
			EBut (022100@1)everyone knows, my best friend was you.
E (022100@1)				AHey, (x02220@1)I've gotten some help. I guess I was afraid
					EYou (022100@1)suppose something will happen when someone is paid
					ABut (x02220@1)I am getting better once again I'll be strong
			EAfter (022100@1)all, listen, I'm singing this song

A*
When you were alive I was never alone
B*			A*			ESomewhere (022100@1)in the world there was something called home

E (022100@1)			    ANow (x02220@1)I feel like I'm homeless but I will be alright
						EI'll (022100@1)get through the days. I'll face-down the night.
