     G#
Iʼm sitting in the railway station.
       G#maj7                  G#7    F
Got a ticket for my destination, mmmm
 A#m                               F#
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
     G#                                  D#7               G#
And evʼry stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band.

Chorus:
          C#            G#
Homeward bound,  wish I was,
          C#
Homeward bound,
 G#             G#sus4
Home where my thoughtʼs escaping
 G#             G#sus4
Home where my musicʼs playing,
 G#             G#sus4
Home where my love lays waiting
 D#7           G#
Silently for me.

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

Chorus.

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

Chorus.

G#maj7       G#7     G#
Silently for me.
