Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice, or tap Capo 4 to see the real chords with no capo.

Verse 1

Guess we're back to basics again

Saints come marching home alone

Just a couple of kids in a grey house

Stealing a little from life

Chorus 1

I'm truly getting tired of lies

I'm thinking of going home

Verse 2

The sun follows you here

Whether outside or on the couch

Write it in a song and say I never said it

I got skeletons I don't speak of

Chorus 2

I feel I've waited my time here

In this black hole of a town

I'm truly growing tired of lies

I'm thinking of running home

I feel I should be home

Break 1

But you live your life

the way you want

but I don't know if that's what I

need

Love's a game you never

learn, but you play, and I

ride a losing streak

Verse 3

I talk of getting away from here

But I know where I go it follows

So I just waste all my days

Living like a stolen thief
