Untitled Song - 1999 by John Mayer
Tabbed by: T_T
Email: heavyrayne@ymail.com
In the version of this song that I was listening to, the sound of John Mayer's voice
overpowered the sound of his guitar, thus making it difficult to hear every note clearly in
song. I know I left out some notes. To aid you in following my loosely interpreted
I inserted some the lyrics. The lyrics are placed underneath the note that they should
sang on. The lyrics were taken from another tab of this song on this site. If there
any misunderstandings that are relevant to this tab, you may send me an email at the
listed above. Comment and/or rate if it suits you.

LYRICS
Basically nothin' has changed
She explained
We're so happy you're home again
You take the winter
To get back on your feet
Your bed is bein' made
And your father washed the sheets for you
So we talked a while
About all my woes
Their smiles worse than I told you so's
When she said to wash up and get to bed
I knew the freedom I had learned
I'd learn quickly to forget
And nobody understands
And nobody seems to care
'Bout the compromise of a man
Comin' home after five long years
Givin' up after five long years
Unpacked my bags in the livin' room
Smell the last of a sweet perfume
Came from the girl that went with the world that I traded in today
Just to live a safer way
And nobody understands
And nobody seems to care
'Bout the compromise of a man
Comin' home after five long years
Givin' up after five long years
She says you're always welcome here
You'll never be alone
Perhaps that's now my greatest fear
I'll always call this home
This home
