Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I thought I'd come
and see you
And your long and lazy scene
[G]Given stage direction,
[D]a finger o[G]n a magazine
I'll [Em]call you what I knew you
I can't get used to your [G]new name

[Verse 2]
[G]Send a body double [D]over
with [G]your keys
She'll see you in an [D]hour
Every[G]body quiet please
[Em]Essex House is down the road
The actors want to be [G]alone
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
[Em]Your room is still and soft
as a jewel[G]er's
[Em]Incidental music coming down the hall
[G]Remember when I never had
to wait for you at all
[Em]I wish my hands were yours
As I lay your keys on [G]a magazine

[Verse 4]
[D][G]
[C]Take me to LaGuardia
My baby's gonna pay for me
[G][Em]

[Verse 5]
Bottle from the duty-free
I'll I'll drink it all across the sea
[G]Lay me down in business class
With headphones and
a sleeping mask
[Em]

[Verse 6]
She's gonna pay for [G]me[Em]
She's gonna pay for me
[G]

[Verse 7]
[Em]Brother, I wish you were home
Just tell me you're not alone
[G]Call me back, I'm on a plane
I think I'm somewhere over Spain
I'm [Em]in the dark without the stars
I've never seen a black so dark
[G]Thought I'd be above the rain
Somewhere on a higher plane

[Verse 8]
[G]Oh, brother, [Em]I wish you were home[G]
My [Em]brother, I wish you were home

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em]
[G]

[Verse 9]
[Em]Baby, you're asleep by now
You never stayed awake for me
You [G]never waited up for me
No, you never waited up for me
Now [Em]there is nothing I can do
I lost you but I beat the sound
[G]Couldn't if I wanted to
The Concorde doesn't turn around

[Verse 10]
Oh, [Em]brother, I wish you were [G]home[Gm]
[G]My bab[Em]y is in a room alo[G]ne
My [Em]brother,
I wish you were [G]home

[Outro 1]
[G][Em][G]
[Em][G]
[Em]
