[intro]

C A# F Dm

Cracking my neck in the consulate line

C A# F Dm

While a homesick American flag's hanging by

C A#

In the fluorescent light

F Dm C A# F

Up close, I see how they stitched on the stars and stripes

C A# F Dm

If I were honest, and if you were brave

C A# F Dm

You'd ask me a question and stay for the answer

C A# F Dm

I like the way that you tell all your tales

C A# F

Would it kill you to listen

C A# F A7 Dm Am G

And I geeeeet homesick before I go away

C A# F A7 Dm Am G

I geeeeeet homesick before I go away, away

C A# F Dm

Lalalalalala

C A# F Dm

Green origami, needles and grapes

C A# F Dm

You cry like an army, you drive like P-plates

C A#

There is much to be said for

F Dm C A# F

The way that you brake when a red light's in front of you

C A# F Dm

You ask me to give you my world, ah, the day

C A#

We'll do this togetha

F Dm

We got years to waste

C A# F Dm

You got lots of persuasions, and time to explain

C A# F

But I've only got time for lunch

C A# F A7 Dm Am G

And I geeeeet homesick before I go away

C A# F A7 Dm Am G

I geeeeeet homesick before I go away,

Dm Am G

Before I go away

C A# F Dm

fade out with some ohohs and lalas
