           E
I left the North

I traveled South

I found a tiny house
  A              B        E
I can~t help the way I feel
A      B         E
oh yes you can kick me

and you can punch me

and you can break my face
        A                B        E
but you won~t change the way i feel
A             E
Cause i love you


          G#m    C#m F#m     B    E
And is it really so  strange?
          G#m    C#m F#m     B    E
Oh, is it really so  strange?
          G#m        C#m       F#m     B - Bb - A
Oh, is it really so, really so strange?
                  B
I say NO, you say YES
                    D
(but you will still change your mind)


    D - Eb-  E
I left the South

I traveled North

I got confused- I killed a horse
  A              B        E
I can~t help the way I feel
A       B        E
Oh yes, you can punch me

and you can buck me

and you can break my spine
        A                B       E
but you won~t change the way I feel
A             E
Cause I love you


          G#m    C#m F#m     B    E
And is it really so  strange?
          G#m    C#m F#m     B    E
Oh, is it really so  strange?
          G#m        C#m       F#m     B - Bb - A
Oh, is it really so, really so strange?
                  B
I say NO, you say YES
                                D
(but you will still change your mind)


D - D - Eb - E

E    E    A    B

           E
I left the North again

I left the South again

I got confused- I killed a nun
  A              B       E
I CAN~T HELP THE WAY I FEEL
  A              B       E
I CAN~T HELP THE WAY I FEEL
  A              B       E
I CAN~T HELP THE WAY I FEEL
A                         E
(I lost my bag in Newport Pagnell)


           G#m  C#m      F#m     B    E
Why is the last mile the hardest mile
   G#m        C#m           F#m         B    E
My throat was dry, with the sun in my eyes
      G#m     C#m    F#m   B - Bb - A
And I realised, I realised 

That I could never
        B                   D      D - D - Eb - E
I could never, never, never go home again
