Nobody’s home    (video)

 

    C ~ ~

 

   C                                                          - F                               C

1.   Move slowly to my dresser drawers,      put my blue jeans on,

                C                                                              D                         G

 find my cowboy boots, my button down, strap my timepiece on my arm.

C                                                                       F                      D7

    Grab my billfold, my pocket change, just a mindless old routine

                   C          G           Am              G          F          G      C

    then it's out the door and down the street, but it's not really me.

 

G                                                 - F                                   C

    I still comb my hair the same,        still like the same cologne

G                                                                    F                           G

    and I still drive that pickup truck that the same old bank still owns.

C                                                         - F

    But since you left, everybody says       I'm not the guy they've known,

       F             G    - F             G        C

the lights are on,        but nobody's home.

 

   C                                                  - F                                   C

2.    Cup of coffee in the morning,        it’s just food for the brain,

C                                                                       - D                            G

    but I've been numb, since our last goodbye        I haven't felt a thing.

                                C

    But now there's pains in my head and pains in my chest,

F                                    D7

    I think I'm losing my hair,

               C        G          Am       G          F           G        C

    I'm a half a man with half a mind to think you didn't care.

 

+  CHORUS    (lines 1 & 2 as instrumental)    + F

 

            F             G     - F              G        C

+  The lights are on,         but nobody's home.
