Tom: Em Em Am Em D Em Bm Em Am Em Am Em Am Em [Chorus] Em D A Em I remember 20 years ago I was sitting in that court room Em D Bm My charges I could not defend Em D A Em The last thing the judge said to me as he handed down my sentence C D Em Was you can never go home again Em D Em A Never go home, never go home C D Em You can never go home again [Verse 1] Em D And I agreed with everything that the judge said A Em If you come back around, I'm going out like Judge Dredd Em D What was in your head when you made those choices? Bm I can only hope that you were plagued by voices Em D And you made the decision not to listened to the one A Em That was on your side when you started to slide C But mama brought you back home D Em She was broken down to the bone, 'cause you were gone so long Em D But now her baby boy is back in the house A You can see the smile on her mouth Em I ain't never seen her this happy Em D Then all of a sudden you disappeared again Bm She's crumbling down, the smile is gone from her chin Em And she doesn't know where D And I don't even care Am Em 'Cause you broke mama's heart twice and it ain't even nice C D Now I'm surprised as heck that she's wondering where you went Em And I don't give a damn friend (I don't even care) [Chorus] Em D A Em When you've done your time and you come back out that doorway Em D Bm You will not find a loved one or a friend Em D A Em You may return to the place where the people used to know you C D Em But you can never go home again Em D Em A Never go home, never go home C D Em You can never go home again [Interlude] Em D A Em D Bm Em D A Em C D Em [Verse 2] Em D Bruh, the sights these eyes have seen seen would horrify the strongest A Em Went and a left home I haven't been to in the longest Em D Led a life by the sword, forced to fall upon it Bm The kites flew, there was nobody left to correspond with Em D Familiar faces either passed on or flipped A Em So there wasn't much for me to do except dip C C Too many years lost off the lies of a snitch Em So it was either do a bid, or end up lying in a ditch Em D Now, left to walk across the land as a mystery A Em Every new town, reinvent a new history Em D I turned my back on my past, just to get to see Bm A new day, reframe my identity Em D To get to sleep at night? Man I need a fifth at least A Em The dirty deeds that I did just to get to eat C D Melancholy and emptiness Em The unseen consequence of the conditions of release [Chorus] Em D A Em We found a man the other day, just hanging from the ceiling Em D Bm His sentence was almost at an end Em D A Em And there on his bed was a note so sad and simple C D Em Saying You can never go home again Em D Em A Never go home, never go home C D Em You can never go home again Em D Em A Never go home, never go home C D Em You can never go home again
