[Verse]
      D          G        D
Music lover will sell his soul
    G         D           G      D
For when he's hungry he's like a fool
    C       G
The muse is greedy, the muse commands
        C     D          G     D      G D
And the lover answers to her demands

[Verse]
G      D            G         D
In the darkness she calls for me
       G        D      G       D
Like a tempting siren upon the sea
C      G
Like a blind man, I follow on
  C       D             G        D
I lose my reason and my sense is gone

[Chorus]
        C     G
But I'm going home now, I'm going home
   C      D               G     D
My lady's waiting and I'm going home

[Verse]
G      D          G       D
When I leave her, how she scorns
        G       D         G       D
She's a jealous lover and how she burns
    C      G
And in the morning, she lets me go
        C        D             G    D
I'm her midnight lover, one of many more

[Chorus]
        C     G
But I'm going home now, I'm going home
   C      D               G     D
My lady's waiting and I'm going home

[Verse]
    G        D           G    D
Oh, mistress music takes everything
    G        D            G        D
She takes my body and she makes me sing
    C       G
She took my young years, she gave me age
        C       D              G     D       G D
And she left me standing on an empty stage

[Chorus]
        C     G
But I'm going home now, I'm going home
   C      D               G     D
My lady's waiting and I'm going home

[Chorus]
    C     G
I'm going home now, I'm going home
   C      D               G     D
My lady's waiting and I'm going home

[Chorus]
        C     G
Oh, I'm going home now, I'm going home
   C      D               G     D
My lady's waiting and I'm going home
