[Verse 1]
G
I'm sitting in the railway station,
G/F# G7/F E E7
Got a ticket for my destination------, mm-mm, mm----,
Am
On a tour of one-night stands,
Am/G F
My suitcase and guitar in hand,
G D
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet,
D7 G
And one-man band-------
[Chorus]
G (Am7) (G/B) C C C/B C/A G
Home-------ward bound, ...I wish I was...
G (Am7) (G/B) C C C/B C/A

Home ...where my thought's es - cap - ing
G (Fmaj7/A) (G) (F) (C/E)
Home ...where my mus - ic's play - ing,
G (Fmaj7/A) (G) (F) (C/E)
Home ...where my love lies wait - ing
D Dsus2 G
Silent - ly for me
[Verse 2]
G
Every day's an endless stream...
G/F# G7/F E E7
...Of cigarettes and magazines------, mm-mm, mm----,
Am
And each town looks the same to me,
Am/G F
The movies and the factories,
G
And every strangers' face I see...
D D7 G
...Re - minds me that I long to be--------...
[Chorus]
G (Am7) (G/B) C C C/B C/A G

Home------ward bound,
G (Fmaj7/A) (G) (F) (C/E)
Home ...where my thought's es - cap - ing
G (Fmaj7/A) (G) (F) (C/E)
Home ...where my mus - ic's play - ing,
G (Fmaj7/A) (G) (F) (C/E)
Home ...where my love lies wait - ing
D Dsus2 G
Silent - ly for me
[Verse 3]
G
To - night I'll sing my songs again,
G/F# G7/F E E7
I'll play the game and pretend------, mm-mm, mm-----,
Am
But all my words come back to me,
Am/G F G
In shades of mediocrity, like emptiness and harmony,
D D7 G
I need someone to comfort me------
[Chorus]
G (Am7) (G/B) C C C/B C/A G
Home-------ward bound, ...I wish I was...
G (Am7) (G/B) C C C/B C/A
Home------ward bound,

Home ...where my thought's es - cap - ing

Home ...where my mus - ic's play - ing,
G (Fmaj7/A) (G) (F) (C/E)
Home ...where my love lies wait - ing
D Dsus2 G G/F# G7/F
Silent - ly for me, ...silently for me
