Never Coming Home Song For The Guilty Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

[E B A] x2

Verse

[E B A]

E The trBains roll bAy my porch

EDown here where Bnothing can Alive

And I've been Esmoking too Bmuch

Because IC♯m am no exAception

You Eknew that alBready, I Athink

If you want salvation

Then you ought to go see a priest

'Cause forgiveness from those that we hurt

In this world never was guaranteed

Chorus

[E C♯m B A]

I'm Ecoming home, it's C♯mlate again

I'm high as BI've ever Abeen

You're Esitting up, you're C♯min our bed

Crying Bfor a ghost agaAin

No Eroom could be as C♯mdark

Or as empBty as ours Ais

'Cause EI'm at home but C♯mI'm not here

And BI never Aam

Verse

[E B A]

I wonder how many friends

Roll past my house in the night?

In boxcars they sleep

With hearts stashed in their backpacks

They'll make California all right

A promise from me

Is just a lie I ain't told yet

So I'm ready to die

But I'm not willing to watch

You watch me die here in our bed

Chorus

[E C♯m B A]

I'm lying down, I've been nodding out

Since I don't know when

The lights are on, you're standing up

Screaming at a ghost again

Darling, I'm home; hell I ain't left

This house of ours in days

But I'm not here; I never am

So I just can't stay

Outro

[E C♯m A B]

My Edarling, I'm C♯mnever coming baAck

From where I'm Bgoing

E C♯m A [You can play the B here, I usually don't]

My darling, I'm never coming home

My Edarling, I'm C♯mnever coming bAack

From where I'm gBoing

My Edarling, I'm C♯mnever coming hAome

B [I usually finish on E but improvising a bit is nice]

Never coming home again
