Butch Walker – Going Backgoing Home (Ukulele)

        D            G    D/F#  Em  A
I'm not happy with myself these days

           D                  G
I took the best parts of the script 

D/F#  Em               A
and I made them all cliches

         D
And this red bandanas 

G      D/F#  Em  A
surely gonna fade

     D               G
Even though it's the only 

D/F#      Em          A
thing the fire didn't take

G         A
Everybody says you'll grown a 

D             Bm
lot from this experience

G              A          D
  Baby B comes in after a while

          D7
becomes a president

G                        A
  The best things get disguised

              Bm  A E/G#
sometimes but all I know is

  G
I finally know the difference 

  A
between going back and going home

          D          G          D/F#  Em A
There's a lady on my block that has a kid

       D            G
As he swims in the above ground

D/F# Em               A
pool she seals up the lid

       D
And he thinks it's kinda 

G      D/F#     Em   A
normal that she hides

        D                G
All the cuts and all the bruises

D/F#              Em               A
    She says it's warpaint for the eyes

    G                 A
She tells her son she did the best 

    D                   Bm
she could as she buries Dad

G                   A         D
  Maybe he'll grow up to be a man 

            D7
or like his father did

G                 A
As they leave the driveway 

        Bm A      E/G#
for the northern snow

     G
They finally know the difference 

  A
between going back and going home

D
Cut to a life

G
Little class suburb

A
Everythings fine

D
Fondue parties

G
Drinks being drunk

    A
And fights being had

  D
I lost my virginity to a girl in my band

        G                    A
She was four years older she made me a man

   D
So addicted to sex

        G
With whoever I wanted

  A
Until I got caught

     D
So I took my penicillin and I took my band

     G                              A
To a town made of glitter girls and cocaine friends

    D
Got handed the dream by the age of eighteen

    G                            A
Saw more than most people that I know had ever seen

       D
Played every bar drank till black and blue

        G
Did the morning show bullshit

    A
And went to China too

           D
Where they left us to die without a ticket to flee

   G                         A
In sighting the riot we were only 23

          D
Packed it up started over just as fast as we can

        G                          A
Selling tapes making merch in the back of a van

       D
Living hand-to-mouth for the next five years

     G  (hold)
Took up drinking wine, gave up drinking beer

        D
Signed another big deal with a devil in a dress

  E                          A
A one hit wonder I think, describes it best

  D
Decided to burn out, then to fade away

     E                   A
Went back to the van the very next day

          D
Picked it up made a living without any help

      E                   A
Made amazing friends if I saw so myself

   D
If living like this at thirty-eight is a bore

          E(hold)
Then come on God please give me thirty-eight more

    G         A           D
And everybody know's I've seen a lot

           Bm
Yea, I'm experienced

G                   A           D
  Makes you feel so old after a while

              D7
Just like our last president

G             A                 Bm   A E/G#
  Everytime I come back in this town I know

          G                      A(Hold)
I finally know the difference between
