Loudon Wainwright Iii - Homeless Chords

Capo 2nd fret

E                                 A
When you were alive, I was never alone
B7                                  A               E
Somewhere in the world, there was something called home
E                                         A
And as long as you lived, I would be all right
            B7                  A              E
There were reasons to win, and incentives to fight
E        A       B7               A            E
Now I'm smoking again. I thought all that was through
       F#m               A                   B
And I don't wanna live. But what else can I do
       E                                    A
And I feel like I've faked all that I ever did
          B7                        A          E
And I've grown a gray beard, but I cry like a kid
E                            A
I was seven when I sang you rosin the bow
B7                                A              E
There in Aunt Mary's kitchen and I don't guess I know
E                                          A        
That's why I've done this for all of this time
         B7                           A         E   
But now playing and singing, seems a game or a crime
A            B7            A            E 
People have called to find out if I'm fine
   F#m               A                    B
I assure them I am. But I'm not - it's a lie
E                                               A
They say in the end, your good friends pull you through
B7                      A               E
But everyone knows, my best friend was you.
E                                           A
Hey, I've gotten some help. I guess I was afraid
              B7                        A           E
You suppose something will happen when someone is paid
E                                           A
But I am getting better once again I'll be strong
B7                      A            E
After all, listen, I'm singing this song
      A       B7           A      E
When you were alive I was never alone
F#m                      A                          B
Somewhere in the world there was something called home
        E                                         A
Now I feel like I'm homeless, but I will be all right
B7                               A              E
I'll get through the days. I'll face-down the night.
