E B A E B A
[Verse]
E B A
The trains roll by my porch
E B A
Down here where nothing can live
E B
And I've been smoking too much
C#m A
Because I am no exception
E B A
You knew that already, I think
E B A
If you want salvation
E B A
Then you ought to go see a priest
E B
'Cause forgiveness from those
C#m A
that we hurt in this world
E B A
Never was guaranteed
[Chorus]
E C#m
I'm coming home, it's late again
B A
I'm high as I've ever been
E C#m
You're sitting up, you're in our bed
B A
Crying for a ghost again
E C#m
No room could be as dark
B A
Or as empty as ours is
E C#m
'Cause I'm at home but I'm not here
B A
And I never am
[Verse]
E B A
I wonder how many friends
E B A
Roll past my house in the night?
E B
In boxcars they sleep
C#m A
With hearts stashed in their backpacks
E B A
They'll make California all right
E B A
A promise from me
E B A
Is just a lie I ain't told yet
E B
So I'm ready to die
C#m A
But I'm not willing to watch
E B A
You watch me die here in our bed
[Chorus]
E C#m
I'm lying down, I've been nodding out
B A
Since I don't know when
E C#m
The lights are on, you're standing up
B A
Screaming at a ghost again
E C#m
Darling, I'm home; hell I ain't left
B A
This house of ours in days
E C#m
But I'm not here; I never am
B A
So I just can't stay
[Outro]
E C#m A
My darling, I'm never coming back
B
From where I'm going
E C#m A B
My darling, I'm never coming home
E C#m A
My darling, I'm never coming back
B
From where I'm going
E C#m A
My darling, I'm never coming home
B E
Never coming home again
