Homesick

HOMESICK (Soul Asylum)

Words & music: Dave Pirner

Fmaj7 = (EADGBe) 102210 or xx3210; other chords are pretty basic. -Ben

C G

I want to live with you

D

In the fifth dimension

Am

In a dream I've never had

Fmaj7 G

'Cause I just can't live like this

Am

In a world like this

F

I just want to kiss goodbye

C G

CHORUS: But we are not of this world

C G

And there's a place for us

F G

Stuck inside this fleeting moment

F Am

Tucked away where no one owns it

F C Am D

Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away

C G

And oh, I am so homesick

Am

But it ain't that bad

C D G

'Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had

And though I sometimes get annoyed

I know just where I'm at

This is my song of joy

And now I know there are no secret tricks

No correct politics

Just liars and lunatics

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL: C G D Am

Fmaj7 G

Though I would not take it personally

Am

It's just the child in me

C D Em

Who never really knew how much I had

C G

Woe is me, I am so homesick

Am

But it ain't that bad,

C D G

'Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had
