[Dm]
[G]
[Am] A junkie walking through the twilight, [Eb] I'm on my way home.
[Am] I left three days ago, but no [Eb] one seems to know I'm gone.
[Am] Home [Gm] is where the hatred [Bb] is.
Home [Eb] is filled with pain, [Dm] and it might not be such a bad [Eb] idea
if I never, [Dm] never went home again.
[Bb] Stand as [Dm] far away from me as you can, and ask me why.
[C]
[Bb] Hang on to your rosy beads, close your [Am] eyes to watch me die.
[Dm] [Bb] You keep saying, kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it, [C] God,
but did you ever try [Am] to turn your [Gm] sick soul inside out?
[Bb] So that the world, [Eb] so that the world can [Dm] watch you die.
[C]
[Dm]
[Am] [D]
[Dm]
[Am] Home is where I live inside my [Eb] white powder dreams.
[Dm] [Am] Home was once an empty vacuum that's filled now with [Eb] my silent screams.
[Am] Home is where [Gm] the needle marks, [Bb] tried to heal [Eb] my broken heart,
and it [Dm] might not be such a [Eb] bad idea if I never, if I never went home [Dm] again.
Home again, home again, home again.
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it, kick it, can't go home again.
Home again.
[A] [Gm]
