* = Strum Once

F, E, F, E

[Verse 1]

So listen up

I worked in daylight feeding fashion to housewives

for just this once

I'll take my chances on truck stops and state lines

go ahead and tell them again

well I think I know that they won't remember

go ahead and tell them twice

yeah, twice is nice but three times is just right

[Chorus]

Am F

Hey, hey now we're almost home

G F

I'm missing you to death, but it's all for the best, I know

Am F

Hey, hey we're not far from home

G F

I've got my pride and I'll let you sleep tonight

[Verse 2]

So listen up

my old friends have been dropping like houseflies

the smoking gun

still sits in my pocket and I know how to use it

go ahead and tell them again

well I think that I know that I won't forgive them

for turning their backs when we started to get busy

well yeah, twice is fine but three times is just right

[Chorus]

Am F

Hey, hey now we're almost home

G F

I'm missing you to death, but it's all for the best, I know

Am F

Hey, hey we're not far from home

G F

I've got my pride and I'll let you sleep tonight

Am F

Hey, hey now we're almost home

I'm missing you to death, missing you to death

hey, hey we're not far from home

G F

I swallow my pride and push back my seat tonight
