Junky walking thru the twilight

I Left 3 days ago
Ebmaj7
But no-ne seems to know i'm gone
Am7 Gm7
Home is where the hatred is
Bb Ebmaj7
Home is filled with pain
Dm
and it might not be such a bad idea
Ebmaj7 Dm
if i never went home again...
Cm7/9 Dm
Stand as far away from me as you can and ask me why
Cm7/9 Dm
Hang on to your rosary beads, close your eyes to watch me die
Cm7/9 Dm
You keep saying "kick it, quit it" but did you ever try?
Am7 Gm7
To turn you sick soul out inside out
Bb Ebmaj7 Dm
So that the world, So that the world can watch you die

Home is where I live inside

My white powder dreams
Dm
Home was once an empty vacuum,
Ebmaj7
thats filled now with my silent screams
Am7 Gm7
Home is where the needle marks
Bb Ebmaj7
Try to heal my broken heart
Dm
and it might not be such a bad idea
Ebmaj7 Dm
if i never went home again...
