     A
Iʼm sitting in the railway station.
       Amaj7                  A7    F#
Got a ticket for my destination, mmmm
 Bm                               G
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
     A                                  E7               A
And evʼry stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band.

Chorus:
          D            A
Homeward bound,  wish I was,
          D
Homeward bound,
 A             Asus4
Home where my thoughtʼs escaping
 A             Asus4
Home where my musicʼs playing,
 A             Asus4
Home where my love lays waiting
 E           A
Silently for me.

 A
Evʼry dayʼs an endless stream
    Amaj7               A7      F#
Of cigarettes and magazines, mmmm
     Bm                                  G
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
     A                             E7                       A
And evʼry strangerʼs face I see reminds me that I long to be,

Chorus.

   A
Tonight Iʼll sing my songs again,
      Amaj7                 A7     F#
Iʼll play the game and pretend, mmmm
     Bm                              G
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
      A                      E7                      A
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.

Chorus.

Amaj7       A7     A
Silently for me.
