     A#
Iʼm sitting in the railway station.
       A#maj7                  A#7    G
Got a ticket for my destination, mmmm
 Cm                               G#
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
     A#                                  F7               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#             A#sus4
Home where my thoughtʼs escaping
 A#             A#sus4
Home where my musicʼs playing,
 A#             A#sus4
Home where my love lays waiting
 F7           A#
Silently for me.

 A#
Evʼry dayʼs an endless stream
    A#maj7               A#7      G
Of cigarettes and magazines, mmmm
     Cm                                  G#
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
     A#                             F7                       A#
And evʼry strangerʼs face I see reminds me that I long to be,

Chorus.

   A#
Tonight Iʼll sing my songs again,
      A#maj7                 A#7     G
Iʼll play the game and pretend, mmmm
     Cm                              G#
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
      A#                      F7                      A#
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.

Chorus.

A#maj7       A#7     A#
Silently for me.
