[A] [B] I [E] left the north, I travelled south I found a tiny house and [A] I can't [B] help the way [E] I feel
[A] Oh [B] yes, you can [E] kick me, and you can punch me
And you can break my face, but [A] obviously it won't [A#m] change the way that [E] I feel
[A] Cos [E] I love you more
And is [G#m] it really [C#m] so [F#]
[E] strange?
Oh, is [G#m] it really [C#m] so [F#] strange?
[E] Oh, is [G#m] it really [C#m] so, really [F#] so strange?
[A] I said no, you say [B] yes and you will [D] change your mind
I [E] left the south, I travelled north
I got confused, I killed a [A] horse, I can't help the way [E] I feel
[A] Oh yes, you can [E] punch me, and you can poke me
And you can break my spine, but [A] obviously it won't change the way [E] I feel
[A] Cos I [E] love you more
And is [G#m] it really [C#m] so [F#] strange?
[E] Oh, is [G#m] it really [C#m] so [F#m] [F#] strange?
[E] Oh, is [G#m] it really [C#m] so, really [F#] so strange?
[A] I said no, you say [B] yes, but you will change your [D] mind
[E]
[A] [B] I [E] left the north again, I travelled south again
And I got confused, I killed a man, [A] I can't [B] help the way [E] I feel
[A] I can't [B] help the way [E] I feel
[A] I can't [F#] help the way [E] I feel
[A] I lost my back and it's [E] not hurting now
Why is [G#m] the [C#m] last mile [F#] the hardest [E] mile?
[G#m] My throat [C#m] was dry [F#] with the sun in my [E] eyes
And [G#m] I [C#m] realised, I [F#] realised
[A] I could never, I [B] could never, never, never [D] go back home [E] again
