Em
I thought I'd come to you
And your long lazy scene
G G/F#
Instate direction, finger on a magazine.
Em
I'd call you when I need you
Em/F# G G/F#
I can't get used to your new name.
G G/F#
Send a body double over with your keys
G
She'll see you in an hour
G/F#
Everybody quiet please.
Em
Essex house is down the road
Em/F# G
The actors want to be alone.
Em
Your room is still and soft
G
As a jeweler'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
G
On a magazine.
C
Take me to LaGuardia
G
My baby's gonna pay for me.
Em
Bottle from the duty-free
Em/F#
I'll drink it all across the sea.
G
Lay me down business class
Em
Headphones and a sleeping mask.
Em/F# G
She's gonna pay for me
Em Em/F# G
She's gonna pay for me.
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.
Em
I'm in the dark without the stars
Em/F#
I've never seen a black suit dark
G
Thought I'd be above the rain
Somewhere on a higher plane.
Em G
Oh brother, I wish you were home
Em G
My brother, I wish you were home.

Baby, you're asleep by now
You never stayed awake for me

You never waited up for me,
No, you never waited up for me!

Now there's nothing I can do
I lost you but I beat the sound
E|--3-3-33333333333----|
Couldn't if I wanted to
The cogwheel doesn't turn around!
Em G
Oh brother, I wish you were home
Em G
My baby is in a room alone.
Em G
My brother, I wish you were home.
Em, G x2
