Intro: E B A (2x) 

Verse: E B A 

E          B          A 
     The trains roll by my porch 

E               B           A 
Down here where nothing can live 

              E           B 
And I've been smoking too much 

         C#m      A 
Because I am no exception 

    E           B        A 
You knew that already, I think 

If you want salvation 
Then you ought to go see a priest 
'Cause forgiveness from those that we hurt 
In this world never was guaranteed 




[Refrão]
    E                 C#m 
I'm coming home, it's late again 

            B         A 
I'm high as I've ever been 

       E                  C#m 
You're sitting up, you're in our bed 

       B              A 
Crying for a ghost again 

   E                C#m 
No room could be as dark 

         B          A 
Or as empty as ours is 

       E               C#m 
'Cause I'm at home but I'm not here 

    B       A 
And I never am 

Verse: E B A 

I wonder how many friends 
Roll past my house in the night? 
In boxcars they sleep 
With hearts stashed in their backpacks 
They'll make California all right 
A promise from me 
Is just a lie I ain't told yet 
So I'm ready to die 
But I'm not willing to watch 
You watch me die here in our bed 

Chorus: E C#m B A 

I'm lying down, I've been nodding out 
Since I don't know when 
The lights are on, you're standing up 
Screaming at a ghost again 
Darling, I'm home; hell I ain't left 
This house of ours in days 
But I'm not here; I never am 
So I just can't stay 

Outro: E C#m A B 

   E            C#m            A 
My darling, I'm never coming back 

               B 
From where I'm going 

   E            C#m           A  
My darling, I'm never coming home 

   E            C#m           A 
My darling, I'm never coming back 

                B 
From where I'm going 

   E            C#m           A 
My darling, I'm never coming home 

      B            
Never coming home again
