[Verse 1]
Am     D       Am          G  F
Always look so good on the outside,
Am       D        Am           G  F
When you get to believin' it's true,
         C
Then you know,
            E7
That you're on your way,
Am     D           Am                G  F
People tug on your shirt, say you're lucky,
Am         D    Am        G  F
You've got ev'rything you want,
        C
But you don't,
         E7
Yet, you dare not say.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C      Fmaj7                C
Go downtown people runnin' around
     Fmaj7                     C
They climb slowly draggin' you downtown
Fmaj7                     C
Horns make a dent in your mind
      Fmaj7                      Em7    Am   Em7      D  D7
Plush rooms make a blindin' your eye to see, blindin' me
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Am   Am7/G    F   Fmaj7/E
Light, lovely light,
          D7          C      G/B
Won't ya' shine in my window,
Am   Am7/G     F   Fmaj7/E
Love, precious love,
          D7         G*
Won't ya' fill ev'ry room,
                     Am  Fmaj7
Been too long on the road.

[Verse 2]
Am    D      Am           F
Maybe cynics veins are my life blood
Am    D          Am          G
Maybe bitin' the hand that I feed,
F       C
So I'll try,
       E7
Try to understand,
Am      D         Am         G   F
What it is that devours your freedom,
Am        D             Am      G
Makes you drop what you used to hold ,
F       C
In your head,
        E7
All the things you planned.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C    Fmaj7                     C        Fmaj7
Go upstairs with a someone who says she cares,
                   C
Like the devil she does,
     Fmaj7                C
What comes ever into your mind,
     Fmaj7                      Em7     Am    Em7    D7
Then gone, leavin' you with the coldest room, oldest gloom.
 
 
[Chorus 2]
Am   Am7/G      F  Fmaj7/E
Warm, won't you be,
          D7           C      G/B
Please be there, in my winter,
Am   Am7/G     F   Fmaj7/E
Love, precious love,
          D7         G*
Won't ya' come, full circle,
                     Am  Fmaj7
Been too long on the road.

[Bridge]
Am           Fma7
   How can I do this to myself?
Am             Fma7
  Have I taken leave of my senses?
Am             Fma7
  What kind of changes make a man,
Am             Fma7
  Want to tear down all his fences,
Am   Fma7           C   F  G
  Whoa, I'd like to know.
 
 
[Chorus 3]
Am   Am7/G    F   Fmaj7/E
Home, ever home,
          D7     C       E7
How could I ever doubt you,
Am   Am7/G     F   Fmaj7/E
Love, precious love,
          D7         G       G*
How could I live without you?
                     Am  Fmaj7
Been too long on the road.
