1. I'm s[C]itting in the railway station
got a t[Emi]icket for my destination [Gmi6]hm[A7]
[Dmi]on a tour of one-night stands
my s[Bb]uitcase and guitar in hand
and [C]ev'ry stop is neatly planned
for a poet and a [G7]one-man b[C]and.

R: H[C]omeward B[F]ound I wish I w[C]as Homeward B[F]ound
h[C]ome where my th[Dmi]ought's [C]esc[Bb]api[F]ng
h[C]ome where my m[Dmi]usic[C]'s pl[Bb]ayi[F]ng
h[C]ome where my l[Dmi]ove l[C]ies w[Bb]ait[F]ing s[G7]ilently for m[C]e.

2. Ev'ry day's an endless stream
of cigarettes and magazines hm
and each town looks the same to me
the movies and the factories
and ev'ry stranger's face I see
reminds me that I long to be.

R:

3. Tonight I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend hm
but all my words come back to me
in shades of mediocrity
like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me.

R: + [C,Cmaj7]silently f[C7]or me...[C,F,C]
