Tom: Dm
C A# F Dm
Cracking my neck in the consulate line
C A# F Dm
While a homesick American flag's hanging by
C A#
In the fluorescent light
F Dm C A# F
Up close, I see how they stitched on the stars and stripes
C A# F Dm
If I were honest, and if you were brave
C A# F Dm
You'd ask me a question and stay for the answer
C A# F Dm
I like the way that you tell all your tales
C A# F
Would it kill you to listen
C A# F A7 Dm Am G
And I geeeeet homesick before I go away
C A# F A7 Dm Am G
I geeeeeet homesick before I go away, away
C A# F Dm x2
Lalalalalala
C A# F Dm
Green origami, needles and grapes
C A# F Dm
You cry like an army, you drive like P-plates
C A#
There is much to be said for
F Dm C A# F
The way that you brake when a red light's in front of you
C A# F Dm
You ask me to give you my world, ah, the day
C A#
We'll do this togetha
F Dm
We got years to waste
C A# F Dm
You got lots of persuasions, and time to explain
C A# F
But I've only got time for lunch
C A# F A7 Dm Am G
And I geeeeet homesick before I go away
C A# F A7 Dm Am G
I geeeeeet homesick before I go away,
Dm Am G
Before I go away
C A# F Dm
fade out with some ohohs and lalas
