G                                       C 
You come home late and you come home early 
D                                      G 
You come on big when you're feeling small 
G                                          C 
You come home straight and you come home curly 
D                                 G 
Sometimes you don't come home at all 


                              C 
So what in the world's come over you 
D                                  G 
And what in heaven's name have I done 
                                            C 
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness 
D                                              G 
{D}You're out there running just to be on the run  
 
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever 
And I got a worried and a jealous mind 
How can a love that'll last forever 
Get left so far behind 
 
Chorus 
 
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow 
It's crossed the evil line today 
Well, how can you ask about tomorrow 
We ain't got one word to say 
 
Chorus
