Intro:
E5

Verse:
E5
She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
E5
Maybe someday another child
E5
Won't feel as alone as she does
E5
It's been two years, and counting,
E5
Since they put her in this place
E5
She's been diagnosed by some stupid fuck,
E5
And mommy agrees, yeah...
E5
Whoa...yeah...hey yeah yeah...

Why go home
Why go home
Why go home

Verse:
E5
She seems to be stronger,
E5
But what they want her to be is weak
E5
She could play pretend,
E5
She could join the game, boy
E5
She could be another clone...ooh...whoa...ah yeah

E5
Ooh...
