  D
I'd love to speak with Leonard
    Em
He's a sportsman and a shepherd
    G            D
He's a lazy bastard living in a suit

    D
But he does say what I tell him
   Em
Even though it isn't welcome
    G              D   A/C#
He just doesn't have the freedom to refuse

    Bm
He will speak these words of wisdom
    A      F#
Like a sage, a man of vision
     Bm        E
Though he knows he's really nothing
    G      E/G#    A
But the brief elaboration of a tube

   D         Em
Going home without my sorrow
   C         G
Going home sometime tomorrow
   C         G       Bm   A
Going home to where it's better than before

   D         Em
Going home without my burden
   C         G
Going home behind the curtain
   C         G      Bm   A
Going home without the costume that I wore

  Bm A  D   G  A  D   G

  D
He wants to write a love song
  Em
An anthem of forgiving
  G           D   A
A manual for living with defeat

 D
A cry above the suffering
 C      Em
A sacrifice recovering
     G         D         A
But that isn't what I need him to complete

 Bm        D
I want him to be certain
    A         F#
That he doesn't have a burden
    Bm          E
That he doesn't need a vision

    G       E
That he only has permission
  A       F#
To do my instant bidding
      Bm       E       A
Which is to say what I have told him to repeat

   D         Em
Going home without my sorrow
   C         G
Going home sometime tomorrow
   C         G       Bm   A
Going home to where it's better than before

   D         Em
Going home without my burden
   C         G
Going home behind the curtain
   C         G      Bm   A
Going home without the costume that I wore

Going home to where it's better than before

   D         Em
Going home without my burden
   C         G
Going home behind the curtain
   C         G      Bm   A
Going home without the costume that I wore
