Going Home

	  		

    D 
I'd love to speak with Leonard 
       Em 
He's a sportsman and a shepherd 
       G                        D 
He's a lazy bastard living in a suit 
  
       D 
But he does say what I tell him 
     Em 
Even though it isn't welcome 
        G                           D     A/C# 
He just doesn't have the freedom to refuse 
  
        Bm 
He will speak these words of wisdom 
       A           F# 
Like a sage, a man of vision 
          Bm                E 
Though he knows he's really nothing 
        G           E/G#       A 
But the brief elaboration of a tube 
  
      D                  Em 
Going home without my sorrow 
      C                  G       
Going home sometime tomorrow 
      C                  G             Bm     A 
Going home to where it's better than before 
  
      D                  Em 
Going home without my burden 
      C                  G       
Going home behind the curtain 
      C                  G            Bm     A 
Going home without the costume that I wore 


  
   D 
He wants to write a love song 
   Em 
An anthem of forgiving 
    G                      D     A 
A manual for living with defeat 

  D 
A cry above the suffering 
  C            Em 
A sacrifice recovering 
         G                 D                 A 
But that isn't what I need him to complete 

  Bm                D 
I want him to be certain 
        A                 F# 
That he doesn't have a burden 
        Bm                   E 
That he doesn't need a vision 
  
        G              E 
That he only has permission 
   A             F# 
To do my instant bidding 
            Bm              E             A 
Which is to say what I have told him to repeat 
  
      D                  Em 
Going home without my sorrow 
      C                  G       
Going home sometime tomorrow 
      C                  G             Bm     A 
Going home to where it's better than before 
  
      D                  Em 
Going home without my burden 
      C                  G       
Going home behind the curtain 
      C                  G            Bm     A 
Going home without the costume that I wore 


  
          D                  Em 
I'm going home without my sorrow 
      C                  G       
Going home sometime tomorrow 
      C                  G             Bm     A 
Going home to where it's better than before 
  
      D                  Em 
Going home without my burden 
      C                  G       
Going home behind the curtain 
      C                  G            Bm     A 
Going home without the costume that I wore
