John Gorka - Always Going Home
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   C    G    F     G(4x)  C  
He's never been Gfar from troubleF  
Trouble is as Gloyal as a Cdog
He drinks in the Gmuddy waterF  
And he Gsleeps in the hollow Clog
His troubles Gall have mirrorsF  
And they Gdouble up the Csize
His problems Gall have patchesF  
And they Gcover up his Feyes
CHORUS:
It's like that Emold expAmression
FAll roads Clead to GRomeF  
You see he comes from troubleG  
And he's always going ChomeG  F  
He's always going ChomeG  F  C  
So, he can't Gsee for lookingF  
He's beGcome a lightning Crod
He walks with the Gclouds of thunderF  
Which don't Gstrike him now as Codd
AcciGdents will happenF  
Much more Gfrequently with Chim
He's never been Gfar from troubleF  
Trouble is a Gtrusted Ffriend
CHORUS:
It's like that Emold expAmression
FAll roads Clead to GRomeF  
You see he comes from troubleG  
And he's always going ChomeG  F  
He's always going ChomeG  F  C  A  
BRIDGE:
Addiction in the bloodstreamF#m  
Chasing fascination's Dchoice
Born of a desperEation
There's a mean edge to his Avoice
As a snake, he would have F#mcurves
On both sides of the Dlaw
As a rule he'll catch his Eprey
And he's bound to eat it Araw,      F#m  DrawE  F  G  C  
He's never been Gfar from troubleF  
He lives an Ginch from his deCmise
Pushes his Gluck right to the Fedge
Pulls the Gbull over your Ceyes
Money slips Gthrough his fingersF  
He owes Geveryone he Cknows
Still and all, it's Ggood to see him Fcome
A little bGetter when he Fgoes
CHORUS:
It's like that Emold expAmression
FAll roads Clead to GRomeF  
You see he comes from troubleG  
And he's always going ChomeG  F  
He's Galways going ChomeG  F  
He's always going ChomeG  F  
He's Galways going ChomeG  F
