Lyrics: 
I wake up, feed your cat 
And tell myself that Im okay where Im at.  
And I take great care keeping this roof pitched  
But it's lonely out here, I can't make any music 
Understand I can no longer take care.  

This is the last night in the house I was born in  
Could you give me a ride to the train in the morning?  
Ive got a real nice place on a real nice block with a garden outside,  
You should see it sometime 
But don't, don't worry about 

This is the last night in the house I was born in  
Don't tell me that I have forgotten who I am 
I'm gonna write, write, write until it comes out wrong  
And then Ill hang up my hands on the hook when Im done 
And I know that you always wanted me to 
And I tell myself the things you said you said just because you had to 



Pretty straight forward song. 
There is a bit of improvising but this is the basic idea. 
Also Im never sure what to call the chords in that 
descending chromatic progression (Chorus) but I did my best. 
No capo by the way 
I hope this is helpful
