[Intro] Cmaj7/G C/G G F [Verse 1]
  C/G                         G    
I dreamed about killing you again last night

       F
And it felt alright to me

C/G                      G
Dying on the banks of Embarcadero skies

  F
I sat and watched you bleed

C/G                   G
Buried you alive in a fireworks display

F
Raining down on me

C/G                       G
Your cold, hot blood ran away from me

       F
To the sea
[Interlude] Cmaj7/G C/G G F Cmaj7/G C/G G F [Verse 2]
  C/G                    G
I printed my name on the back of a leaf

      F
And I watched it float away

C/G                          G                                
The hope I had in a notebook full of white, dry pages

    F
Was all I tried to save

    C/G                   G
But the wind blew me back via Chicago

       F
In the middle of the night, 

    C/G                       G
And all without fight, at the crush of veils 

         F
and starlight
[Solo] Cmaj7/G C/G G F Cmaj7/G C/G G F [Verse 3]
  C/G                     G
I know I'll make it back, one of these days 

    F
And turn on your tv

C/G                   G
To watch a man with a face like mine

      F
Being chased down a busy street

C/G                    G
When he gets caught, I won't get up

    F
And I won't go to sleep

C/G              G
I'm coming home, I'm coming home

F
Via Chicago
[Solo] Cmaj7/G C/G G F Cmaj7/G C/G G F [Verse 3]
      C/G                              G
Where the cups are cracked and hooked, above the sink

     F
They make me think

C/G                          G
Crumbling ladder tears don't fall, they shine 

          F
Down your shoulders

    C/G                      G
And crawling is screw faster lash

               F
I blow it with kisses

C/G                 G
I rest my head on a pillowy star

      F      
And a cracked door moon

                             C/G
That says I haven't gone too far
[Solo] G F C/G G F [Chorus]
C/G
I'm coming home

G
I'm coming home

F
I'm coming home, via Chicago

C/G
I'm coming home

G
I'm coming home

F
I'm coming home
[Outro]
C/G
Searching for a home

G
Searching for a home

F
Searching for a home, via Chicago

C/G
I'm coming home

G               F
I'm coming home
