Intro:  / G - - - / x4

 

G (2)              C (2)      Am (2)

You remind me of home: the paint cracks when the water leaks

          C (2)               

from the rusty pipes that are just beneath my feet.

G (2)                Dsus2 (2)    Am (2)

  You remind me of home:   the heater's warm but fills the room with a

 C (2)                    

potpourri of dust and gas fumes.

 

/ G - - - / x4

 

G (2)              C (2)     Am (2)

You remind me of home: a broken bed with dirty sheets that

   C (2)

creaks when I am shifting in my sleep.

G (2)              Dsus2 (2)     Am (2)

You remind me of home: in a suburban town with nothing to do,

C (2)

patiently waiting for something to happen.

 

/ G - - - / x4

 

         Em  G           (Riff I)            

But the foundation is crumbling  

Em        G             (Riff II)

   and becoming one with the ground

Em             G         (Riff I)

    while you lay there in slumber...

 

Em         G             (Riff III)

   You're wasting your life. Wasting your life.

Em         G             (Riff III)

   You're wasting your life. Wasting your life.

Em         G             (Riff III)

   You're wasting your life. Wasting your life.

Em         G             (Riff III)

   You're wasting your life. Wasting your life.

 

Em   G   (Riff III)

           Wasting your life.

Em   G   (Riff IV)

           Wasting your life.

 G (2)             C (2)  Am (2)

You remind me of home:  sitting on a thrift store couch,

      C (2)                G (hold)

I'm trying to get this all        down
