Alice Walker - 'Home' Chords

_ _ One two three four
Oh flicker candle [Bb] sweating [D] thoughts from [Dm] a fire burning everything you may will [D] end up broken _
[Dm] And cheap thoughts and cheap addresses you're perfect [D] then learn your [Dm] lesson
She only makes that moaning when she's [D] faking it and fake sounds and plastic feelings
Freckles and skins are peeling.
Who comes at night when I go home
And then your home brings same [Bb] old things it's hairnets and [A] safety pins a man does the same [Dm] thing she always does
It's your home brings a lot more things [Bb] like sitting up [A] singing hymns
So I will lay the table, [Dm] but I will not sing
I will not sing
And I thought what will I do
[Bb] Now I've got no [Dm] excuse and all this bullshit has landed in my hands
Like I don't want to talk it's not [Bb] really complicated.
I just don't want [Dm] to talk to you
I just don't want to know the less I know the less I'll care if you might not say yes
I won't [Bb] say no, I never say no
[Am] You think I might say [A] I might
But we all know that really means no
So [Dm] I ask
Oh flicker candle [Bb] sweating thoughts from a fire [A] burning everything you may will end up broken
_ [Dm] And cheap thoughts and cheap [Bb] addresses you're perfect then learn your [A] lesson
She only makes that moaning when she's [Dm] faking it and fake sounds and plastic [Bb] feelings
Crackles skins are [A] peeling soon can't deny when [Dm] I go home
And then your old things _ [Bb] _
it's hairnets and safety pins a man does the same [Dm] thing she always does
It's your home brings a lot more [Bb] things like sitting up singing [A] hymns
So I will lay the table, [Dm] but I will not sing
I will not sing
Please don't make me sing
_ _ [F]
Please don't make [D] me try
_ [Dm] I like this stuff, I like to [Bb] play especially with [Dm] people paid
But it's all through my gel I don't seem to care
Must be something in this English air
Must be something that I'm doing [D] wrong
Cause I'm always singing the same old [A] song
I'm always breaking the [Dm] same old heart that I carry around in this soulless fire
Oh flicker candle [Bb] sweating thoughts _ _ [A]
from a fire burning everything you [Dm] may will end up broken _
And cheap thoughts and cheap [Bb] addresses you're perfect then learn your [A] lesson
She only makes that [Dm] moaning when she's faking it and fake sounds and plastic [Bb] feelings
Freckles and skins all [A] peeling soon can't [Dm] deny when I go home
And [D] then your old things _ [Bb] it's hairnets and safety [A] pins a man does the same [Dm] thing she always does
It's your home brings a lot more [Bb] things like sitting up singing [A] hymns
So I will lay the table, [Dm] but I will not sing
I will not sing
And you're drunk, drunk, drinking [Bb] like a skunk
Drunk, drunk, [Dm] drinking like a skunk
Drunk, drunk, drinking like a skunk
Drunk, drunk, drinking [D] like a home brings a [Bb] lot more things
Drunk, drunk, [Dm] drinking like a skunk
Drunk, drunk, drinking like a skunk
Drunk, drunk, drinking like a home brings a lot more things
[Bb] A lot more times to sit and [A] drink
A lot more times [Dm] to play it dumb
Sitting around getting [D] drunk
