    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

I'm going home without my sorrow

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
