Homeless chords by Loudon Wainwright Iii

Capo 2nd fret

E                 A
When you were alive, I was never alone
B7                 A        E
Somewhere in the world, there was something called home
E                     A
And as long as you lived, I would be all right
      B7         A       E
There were reasons to win, and incentives to fight
E    A    B7        A      E
Now I'm smoking again. I thought all that was through
    F#m        A          B
And I don't wanna live. But what else can I do
    E                  A
And I feel like I've faked all that I ever did
     B7            A     E
And I've grown a gray beard, but I cry like a kid
E              A
I was seven when I sang you rosin the bow
B7                A       E
There in Aunt Mary's kitchen and I don't guess I know
E                     A
That’s why I've done this for all of this time
     B7              A     E
But now playing and singing, seems a game or a crime
A      B7      A      E
People have called to find out if I'm fine
  F#m        A          B
I assure them I am. But I'm not - it's a lie
E                        A
They say in the end, your good friends pull you through
B7           A        E
But everyone knows, my best friend was you.
E                      A
Hey, I've gotten some help. I guess I was afraid
       B7            A      E
You suppose something will happen when someone is paid
E                      A
But I am getting better once again I'll be strong
B7           A      E
After all, listen, I'm singing this song
   A    B7      A   E
When you were alive I was never alone
F#m           A             B
Somewhere in the world there was something called home
    E                     A
Now I feel like I'm homeless, but I will be all right
B7                A       E
I'll get through the days. I'll face-down the night.
