[Verse]
E MajorE
we live high, our love gorges on the alcohol we feed it
E MajorE
and it grows all fat and friendly, we have surplus if we need it
    A7add9        A augmentedA           E MajorE
we hold on as hard as we can, our knuckles are white

E MajorE
we write letters to each other invent secrets to confess to
E MajorE
i learn foreign and exotic terms of endearment by which to address you
    A7add9          A augmentedA           E MajorE
we feed fresh fruit to one another we stay up all night

[Chorus]
       BB               A augmentedA
and i am healthy, i am whole, but i have poor impulse control
       E MajorE        BB
and i want to go home, but i am home

[Verse]
E MajorE
we are strong, we are faithful, we are guardians of a rare thing
E MajorE
we pay close, careful attention to the news the morning air brings
    A7add9    A augmentedA             E MajorE
we show great loyalty to the hard times we've been through

E MajorE
we are filled with riches and wonders, our love keeps the things it finds
E MajorE
and we dance like drunken sailors, lost at sea out of our minds
     A7add9         A augmentedA               E MajorE
you find shelter somewhere in me, and i find great comfort in you

[Chorus]
      BB               A augmentedA
and i keep you safe from harm, you hold me in your arms
        E MajorE       BB
and i want to go home, but i am home

[Interlude]
E MajorE E A7add9 A augmentedA
