I'm sitting in the railway station.

G/F# G/F E
Got a ticket to my destination.

Am F
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand

G Dsus4 G
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.

CHORUS:

Homeward bound,

G
I wish I was,

C
Homeward bound,

G F
Home where my thought's escaping,

G F
Home where my music's playing,

G F
Home where my love lies waiting

D G
Silently for me.

G
Every day's an endless stream

G/F# G/F E
Of cigarettes and magazines.

Am F
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories

G Dsus4 G
And every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be

CHORUS

G
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,

G/F# G/F E
I'll play the game and pretend.

Am F
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

G Dsus4 G
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.

G/F# G/F G
Silently for me.
