Breakdown
( A Long Way From Home)
Kris Kristofferson
The cDlubs are all D7closed and the Gla-dies are Dleaving, 
There's no-body no-body E7knows on the A7street; 
A fDew strand-ed D7souls stand-ing Gcold at the Dsta-tion, 
And  Gno-where to Dgo but to A7bed and to Dsleep. G7  
    CLord, would you look at you,  Gnow that you're here, ain't you 
    D7proud of your peers  and the Glong way you've G7come? 
    All a-lCone, all the way  on your Gown, who's to say 
    That you've D7thrown it away for a song? 
    Boy, you've sure come a long way from Ghome. 
So it's Dso long to D7so many Gso far behinDd you, 
Fair-weather friends that you E7no longer A7know; 
You've Dstill got the sD7ame lonely Gsongs to remDind you 
Of sGomeone you Dseemed to be A7so long aDgo. G7  
    CLord, would you look at you,  Gnow that you're here, ain't you 
    D7proud of your peers  and the Glong way you've G7come? 
    All al-Cone, all the way  on your Gown, who's to say 
    That you've D7thrown it away for a song? 
    Boy, you've sure come a long way from Ghome.

Kris Kristofferson

D D7 G D

The clubs are all closed and the la-dies are leaving,

E7 A7

There's no-body no-body knows on the street;

D D7 G D

A few strand-ed souls stand-ing cold at the sta-tion,

G D A7 D G7

And no-where to go but to bed and to sleep.

C G

Lord, would you look at you, now that you're here, ain't you

D7 G G7

proud of your peers and the long way you've come?

C G

All a-lone, all the way on your own, who's to say

That you've thrown it away for a song?

Boy, you've sure come a long way from home.

D D7 G D

So it's so long to so many so far behind you,

E7 A7

Fair-weather friends that you no longer know;

D D7 G D

You've still got the same lonely songs to remind you

G D A7 D G7

Of someone you seemed to be so long ago.

C G

Lord, would you look at you, now that you're here, ain't you

D7 G G7

proud of your peers and the long way you've come?

C G

All al-one, all the way on your own, who's to say

That you've thrown it away for a song?

Boy, you've sure come a long way from home.
