G/A

I don’t know what it

D/C

each and every day!

G/B

G/A

G

D/F#

And

Em

I don’t know why,

D/F#

But I feel like a

G

VICTIM,

G/A

G/B

Of my

Em

own inability to

D/F#

separate the right from the

G

G/A

G/B

And though it

feels like the right thing…

D/F#

It ain’t

G

HOME, I’LL FIND AN EXPLA

And from the

D
