[Intro]
 
E B A x2
 
 
[Verse]
 
E          B          A
     The trains roll by my porch
E               B           A
Down here where nothing can live
              E           B
And I've been smoking too much
         C#m       A
Because I am no exception
    E           B        A
You knew that already, I think
 
E     B           A
   If you want salvation
E                 B        A
Then you ought to go see a priest
          E             B             C#m
'Cause forgiveness from those that we hurt
        A     E        B           A
In this world    never was guaranteed
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    E                 C#m
I'm coming home, it's late again
            B         A
I'm high as I've ever been
       E                  C#m
You're sitting up, you're in our bed
       B              A
Crying for a ghost again
   E                C#m
No room could be as dark
         B          A
Or as empty as ours is
       E               C#m
'Cause I'm at home but I'm not here
    B       A
And I never am
 
 
[Bridge]
 
E B A x2
 
 
[Verse]
 
E    B            A
   I wonder how many friends
E            B            A
Roll past my house in the night?
   E              B
In boxcars they sleep
            C#m              A
With hearts stashed in their backpacks
        E         B          A
They'll make California all right
E      B          A
   A promise from me
E             B            A
Is just a lie I ain't told yet
       E        B
So I'm ready to die
        C#m         A
But I'm not willing to watch
    E            B           A
You watch me die here in our bed
 
 
[Chorus]
 
E                         C#m
I'm lying down, I've been nodding out
      B            A
Since I don't know when
E                         C#m
The lights are on, you're standing up
          B          A
Screaming at a ghost again
E                       C#m
Darling, I'm home; hell I ain't left
     B                A
This house of ours in days
    E               C#m
But I'm not here; I never am
   B            A
So I just can't stay
 
 
[Outro]
 
E B A
 
   E            C#m            A
My darling, I'm never coming back
               B
From where I'm going
   E            C#m           A    [You can play the B here, I usually don't]
My darling, I'm never coming home
   E            C#m           A
My darling, I'm never coming back
                B
From where I'm going
   E            C#m           A
My darling, I'm never coming home
      B             [I usually finish on E but improvising a bit is nice]
Never coming home again
