Chords with lyrics
intro:
C majorC A#A# FF DmDm x2
C majorC A#A# FF DmDm
Cracking my neck in the consulate line
C majorC A#A# FF DmDm
While a homesick American flag's hanging by
C majorC A#A#
In the fluorescent light
FF DmDm C majorC A#A# FF
Up close, I see how they stitched on the stars and stripes
C majorC A#A# FF DmDm
If I were honest, and if you were brave
C majorC A#A# FF DmDm
You'd ask me a question and stay for the answer
C majorC A#A# FF DmDm
I like the way that you tell all your tales
C majorC A#A# FF
Would it kill you to listen
C majorC A#A# FF A7A7 DmDm A minorAm G+G
And I geeeeet homesick before I go away
C majorC A#A# FF A7A7 DmDm A minorAm G+G
I geeeeeet homesick before I go away, away
C majorC A#A# FF DmDm x2
Lalalalalala
C majorC A#A# FF DmDm
Green origami, needles and grapes
C majorC A#A# FF DmDm
You cry like an army, you drive like P-plates
C majorC A#A#
There is much to be said for
FF DmDm C majorC A#A# FF
The way that you brake when a red light's in front of you
C majorC A#A# FF DmDm
You ask me to give you my world, ah, the day
C majorC A#A#
We'll do this togetha
FF DmDm
We got years to waste
C majorC A#A# FF DmDm
You got lots of persuasions, and time to explain
C majorC A#A# FF
But I've only got time for lunch
C majorC A#A# FF A7A7 DmDm A minorAm G+G
And I geeeeet homesick before I go away
C majorC A#A# FF A7A7 DmDm A minorAm G+G
I geeeeeet homesick before I go away,
DmDm A minorAm G+G
Before I go away
C majorC A#A# FF DmDm
fade out with some ohohs and lalas
