[A] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ [E] _ _ It's desert [A] outside [E] but this diamond's thought like it is
_ [B] Hot coffee and a [A] clean white mug [E] and a smile and lowly trans [B] years
That I was [G#] born in North _
[C#m] Carolina, not [A] an hour from our [E]
hometown
_ And [F#] we used to [E] play the [A] same pizza, bar, [B] and pinball _
_ [F#m] _ [E] And there's a glance in time [A] suspended as [E] I wonder how it is
_ [B] We've been swept up just [A] by circumstance [E] to where the coyote [B] lives
Where my [D#m] days are strips [C#m] of highway [A] and she's wiping tables [E] down
_ [F#] Holding [F#m] on, [E]
[A] still waiting for [B] that _ windfall
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] But _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] I've come [A] home
[E] _ _ Even [B] though I've [A] never had so [E] far to go _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I've [A] _ _ _ _ [E] [B] come _ [C#m] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[E] home
[A] I _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ pay the [A] check, leave the change [E] from a crumpled ten-dollar bill
_ [B] Head across the street [A] where vacancy [E] is burning me [B] on still
[G#] While the night eats up [C#m] my body heat, [A] there's no [E] sign of another
_ [F#] And I find [E] myself [A] slumping down to [B] that black
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[A] Things are good, I've got [E] a lot of followers at my feet
I've [B] got a whole _
[A] congregation living [E] in my head [B] these days
And [G#] I'm preaching [D#m] from [C#m] the pulpit [G#] to cries of amen [C#m] and [B] brother
[A] _ Closing my eyes to feel the warmth come _ _ [B] _
_ _ back
[E] I've _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] come home
[F#] _ _
[E] _ _ Even [B] though I swear [A] I've never [E] been so _ alone
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ I've [E] come [B] _ _
[C#m] home
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _
[A] _ _ Just [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ want [D#m] to be living as [C#m] I'm dying, _ [A] just like everybody [E] here
_ Just [B] want to know a little [A] flicker of [B] time is [E] worthwhile _
And _ I [D#m] don't know where [C#m] I'm driving [E] to, [A] but I know [E] I'm getting more
_ And [F#] there's a blessing in every moment, _ [A] every _ _ _
[B] _ mile

_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ [E] _ _ Thin white cherry [A] bars [E] of soap and a couple little plastic cups
_ [B] Old [Em] Gideon's Bible [A] in the nightstand, drawers [E] and door open [B] up
_ [G#] Well I'll kneel down [C#m] on the carpet [E] here, though [A] I never was [E] sure of God
Think [F#m] tonight I'll [B] give Him [A] the benefit of [B] the doubt _
_ _ _ _ [E] Switch off the lights and [A] imagine that _ [E] waitress outlining the bed
I [B] hear it falling all [A]
around me, [E] I smile and shake [B] my _ head
We [D#m] all had our [C#m] odd and days, [B] and [A] we all have our [E] own _ scars
But [F#m] tonight I [E] think [A] I see what's [B] all _ about
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ I've come [E] _ _
[F#] _ [E] home
