CAPO 2TH FRETH
GYeah you cooked his dinners
DYou raised his children and Emstill
He's not satiGsfied
GHe says I rather switch with you
DYou don't now hard it is
EmTo work froGm 9-5
GBut he speaks with his eyes closed
DAnd even though you're not all alone
EmHe's never there to be with yGou
GAnd you remember when you were young
DWhen life was new and it was fun
EmNow every corner's filled with dGust
DBut you're Cnot coming home tonGight
GYou just took the train
DAnd you left without a wave
EmFigured he'd never let you leave anGyway
GAnd now you're sitting in that train
DSeeing life in a new way
EmAnd every forest sings a Gsong
GOne for the heartbroken lovers
DAnd one for the dreamers
EmAnd then there's one just for yGou
GThe wind's been humming on it all day
DAnd the soil lies awake
EmWaiting for it's drum soGlo

CI'll meet you on the other sGide
EMThe future's uA7nclear
CBut hopefully it will be fiGne

CAPO 2TH FRETH

Yeah you cooked his dinners

D Em

You raised his children and still

He's not satisfied

He says I rather switch with you

You don't now hard it is

Em G

To work from 9-5

But he speaks with his eyes closed

And even though you're not all alone

Em G

He's never there to be with you

And you remember when you were young

When life was new and it was fun

Em G

Now every corner's filled with dust

D C G

But you're not coming home tonight

You just took the train

And you left without a wave

Em G

Figured he'd never let you leave anyway

And now you're sitting in that train

Seeing life in a new way

Em G

And every forest sings a song

One for the heartbroken lovers

And one for the dreamers

Em G

And then there's one just for you

The wind's been humming on it all day

And the soil lies awake

Em G

Waiting for it's drum solo

D C G

'Cause you're not coming home tonight

EM A7

The ship is sailing

C G

I'll meet you on the other side

EM A7

The future's unclear

C G

But hopefully it will be fine

D C G

You're not coming home tonight
