[Cm] [Bb] [Eb] [Ab]
[Bb] [Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] I love to speak with Leonard.
[Fm] He's a sportsman and a shepherd.
[Ab] He's a lazy bastard living
in [Eb] a suit.
But he does say what I tell him, [Fm] even though it isn't welcome.
[Ab] He just doesn't
have the freedom [Eb] to refuse.
[Gm] [Cm] He will speak these words of wisdom [Bb] like a sage, [G] a man of
vision, [Cm] though he knows he's [F] really nothing [Ab] but a brief [F] elaboration [Bb] of a tune.
[Eb] Going home
without [Fm] my sorrow, [Db] going home [Ab] sometime tomorrow, [Db] going home to [Ab] where it's better [Cm] than before.
[Bb]
[Eb] Going home without [Fm] my burden, [Db] going home behind [Ab] the curtain, [Db] going home without [Ab] the costume
[Cm] that I wore.
[Bb]
[Eb] [Ab] [Gm] [Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] He wants to write a love song, [Fm] an anthem of forgiving, [Ab] a manual for living
[Eb] with defeat.
[Bb]
[Eb] A cry above the suffering, [Db] a sacrifice [Fm] recovering, [Ab] but that isn't what I need him to
[Eb] complete.
[Gm]
[Cm] I want him to be certain that [Bb] he doesn't have a [G] burden, that [Cm] he doesn't need [F] a vision,
that [Ab] he only has [A] permission [Bb] to do [B] my instant bidding, [Cm] which is to [F] say what I've told him
[Bb] to repeat.
[Eb] Going home without [Fm] my sorrow, [Db] going home [Ab] sometime tomorrow, [Db] going home to [Ab] where it's
better [Cm] than before.
[Bb] [Eb] Going home without [Fm] my burden, [Db] going home [Ab] behind the curtain,
[Db] going home without [Ab] this costume [Cm] that I [Bb] wore.
[Eb] [Ab]
[Bb] [Eb] [Ab] I'm going [Eb] home [Fm] without my sorrow,
[Db] going home sometime [Ab] tomorrow, [Db] going home to [Ab] where I've never [Cm] gone before.
[Bb] [Eb] Going home without [Fm] my burden, [Db] [Ab] going home behind the curtain, [Db] going home without [Ab] the costume that [Cm] I wore.
[Bb] [Eb]
[Ab] [Bb] I [Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] love to speak with Leonard.
[Fm] He's a sportsman and a shepherd.
[Ab] He's a lazy bastard living in [Eb] a suit.
