[E]
I've [C#m] been looking all over trying [E] to find a place to lay my head.
I used to have a
house and a spouse now it's earth dead.
[A] I thought I had a friend I was knocking on
his door trying to remind him what friends [E] are for but I think he's dead.
I [B] saw his
neighbor on the front porch looking pretty [A] stoned.
He thought was in the
[B] backyard chewing on a bone but there's nobody home.
There wasn't nobody home.
[A] [Am]
[B] [E]
I saw a [Em] church with a [Bm] sign it was [E] open so I stepped inside.
It said double your
misery back if you ain't satisfied.
I thought [A] this deal can't last I better
cash it quick.
Get it all done [E] before I get too [Em] sick to find my way outside.
[E]
I [B] saw a
saint with his mouth open carved out of stone.
[A] A preacher with his mouth [E] shut
staring at his phone [B] but there's [E] nobody home.
There wasn't nobody home.
[B]
[E]
I saw a big white house down on Pennsylvania Avenue.
I said open up the [Bm] gate just can't [Em] wait and they said [B] who are you?
[A] I said I was a [Am] citizen trying to cut a deal on a Russian [A] unicycle with a
missing [E]
wheel.
They let me through.

[E]
I [B] saw a clown with a comb over trying to float
along [A] through the CIA [C#] while he tweeted on his phone [E] but there's nobody home.
There wasn't nobody home.
[B]
[A] [E]
[B]
That's too [E] easy.
It's [C#m] getting hard to maintain [Em] connections in a [E] personal way.
Everybody [Em] wants to text me cause they [E] ain't got nothing to say.
Yeah believe me when I
[A] tell you it's like being alone [E] hanging out with numbers in a cyber zone.
Yeah you better [Em] pray.
[E]
It'll [B] drive you crazy right around the bend.
[A] Pretty soon you're talking to yourself again [B] and there ain't nobody home.
There ain't [E] nobody home.
[F#m] Yeah it'll drive you [B] crazy right around the [A] bend.
Pretty soon you're talking [G] to yourself again and there [B] ain't nobody home.
There [E] ain't nobody home.
