Capo 4 

verse =  D Cadd9/G D  


     D     Cadd9         G                            D 
The home alone written elegies for those he'll never know 
        D          Cadd9 
Just a kid in his room 
G                             D 
noone hears him howling at the moon 

The drunk in his bar 
spinning fairytales that never get him far 
and the thought, that he's fled 
over taking off her dress for someone else 

           Am                     (B) Cadd9 
so they'll put it down to fate or bad luck 
         G                         (Cadd9) D 
but everyone they know is falling out of touch 
            Am                     (B) Cadd9 
you'll have heard this all before when I'm gone 
         G              (Cadd9)  D 
far enough to not string you along 

she went to bed 
with someone to empty out her head 
she had to get out 
she couldnt stand the noise in that goddamn house 

always home, alone 
written elegies for those I'll never know 
but I kiss you on the floor 
dancing to the song from '84 

and I'll put that down to fate or good luck 
every one they know is falling out of touch 
you'll have heard the all before when I'm, gone 
far enough to not string you along
