Homeless - Loudon Wainwright Capo 2 - written relative to capo * = Barchord E5 E5 A5 When you were alive, I was never alone E5 Somewhere in the world, there was something called home E5 And as long as you lived, I would be allright A5 E5 There were reasons to win, and incentives to fight A5 * E5 Now I'm smoking again. I thought all that was through F5 * A5 * B5 * And I don't wanna live. But what else can I do B5 * E5 A5 And I feel like I've faked all that I ever did E5 And I've grown a gray beard, but I cry like a kid E5 A5 I was seven when I sang you'd rosin the bow E5 There in Aunt Mary's kitchen and I don't guess I know E5 A5 That it's why I've done this for all of this time E5 But now I'm playing and singing, seems a game or a crime A5 * E5 People have called to find out if I'm fine F5 * A5 * B5 * I assure them I am. But I'm not - it's a lie B5 * E5 A5 They say in the end, your good friends pull you through E5 But everyone knows, my best friend was you. E5 A5 Hey, I've gotten some help. I guess I was afraid E5 You suppose something will happen when someone is paid A5 But I am getting better once again I'll be strong E5 After all, listen, I'm singing this song A5 * When you were alive I was never alone B5 * A5 * E5 Somewhere in the world there was something called home E5 A5 Now I feel like I'm homeless but I will be alright E5 I'll get through the days. I'll face-down the night.
