[Verse 1]
BmIf we were all Aborn
With a C#mpylon between our Bmeyes
BmWould we notice the Agrass
Through C#mmetal bars and siren Bmcries?
[Chorus 1]
I'm running on GhighAways and Bmdust
I've never been Ghome but I Aknow I Bmmust
[Verse 2]
If BmI am a Amouth
That C#mbit the hand that gave me Bmlife
Then BmI'll kiss a Achord
Suck from C#mmelody, my fertile Bmwife
[Chorus 2]
I'm having some GtrouAble thinking Bmstraight
To put it in Gwords
AI Bmhate to Aput it in Gwords
[Instrumental]

To Bmlong for the Alark
A C#mfickle wish, a fleeting Bmwing
BmBut she won't be Acaught
C#mTethered down, and forced to Bmsing
[Chorus 3]
I'm having some GtrouAble seeing Bmclear
I'll never get Ghome AI Bmfear
[Verse 4]
And BmI must be Aleft
For a C#mlittle while, to walk my Bmroad
The Bmways back are Ashut now
And C#mI'll be left to tread aBmlone
I want to go Ghome
