Homesick Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I walk down my old[C5] street
Used to be home for me an[G]d
Now there's spray paint on [C5]the w[Bb]alls[G]

[Verse 2]
I see a house that at [C5]one time looked nice
But now it is [G]abandoned
There's noth[G5]ing left a[C5]t all
[Bb]So

[Verse 3]
[G]why, why[G5] must we l[C5]et our chances fly
[G]When oh when oh will we
[C5]ever see hope [Bb]again
[G5]Why,[G] why, why is it[C5]
hard to say goodbye
[G]Well oh well oh at least [G5]I
[C5]can still remember when
[Bb]Our [G]city used to be such[Bb]
[Eb]a beautiful pl[C5]ace
Now [G5]you can't [Eb]walk down the street
The [F]same and think
you'll see the [Bb5]same[Bb]
[G]My hands [G5]are in [Eb]the air
It makes [Bb]no sense to[F] me
[G5]I cann[Eb]ot expla[F]in this tragedy

[Interlude 1]
[G][G5][G]

[Verse 4]
My first trip to [C5]city
I remember think[G]ing
That the build[G5]ings stood [C5]so tall
[G]And when I see [G5]that my [C5]old stomping ground
Is just a rav[G]aged
They seem [G5]so s[C5]mall now ra[Bb]ther

[Verse 5]
[G]So why, why must [C5]we let our chances fly
[G]When oh when oh will we eve[C5]r
see hope again
Why, why, [G]why [G5]is i[C5]t
hard to say goodbye
[G]Well oh well oh at least I
[C5]can still remember when
[F]Our[G] city used to be suc[Bb]h
[Eb]a beautiful pl[C5]ace
Now [G5]you can't [Eb]walk down the street
The [F]same and think you'll see the [Bb5]same[G]
My hand[G5]s are in [Eb]the air
It makes [F]no sense to me
[G]I can[Eb]not exp[F]lain this tragedy

[C5][G][G5][Eb][C5][F][G]
[Eb][F][C5][G5][Eb][C5][Bb]
[G]
Feel [G5]like I'm [Eb]living in someone

[Verse 6]
[C5]
else's dream
[G5]It doesn[G]'t seem [Eb]this is the way[C5]
That [F]things should be
[G5]It's like [G]a dark[Eb] cloud
swallowed [C5]up humanity
[G]Wha[Eb]tever it is [C5]it
is be-yond-me
[G]Homesickness [G5]Homesickness [C5]Homesick
[G]ness is [G5]the [Eb]flu that s[C5]urrounds me
[Dm]A vir[G5]us spreadin[G]g through th[G5]e street
[Eb]It astou[C5]nds me
Homesickness
[G][C5]
[F]

[Verse 7]
[G]Our city used to be [Bb]such
[Eb]a beautifu[C5]l place
[G]Now you can't wal[Eb]k down the street
The [F]same and think you'll see [G]the same
My hands are in [Eb]the air
[Bb]It makes no sense to[F] me
[G]I can[Eb]not exp[F]lain this tragedy
