[C]
[Cm]
[C]
Home isn't open, it's like when you get hit.
The jacks split a creek bed, the man owes the body.
Clock has its head stung low, back in the tall grass.
Stinging like a day's [F] woe, looking for brother.
Feels like winter, but it's the heart of the summer.
We can't go swimming, as long as we slumber.
He's moving long away [C] from home.
Long [G] away [C] from home.
And how do we get him?
One step takes one man, yo.
Three steps each.
Four steps back, and then yo.
Tonight, [Em] [F] I wanted you [Em] to know, [F] I was thinking about [Em] you.
[C] [F] And you look [Em] like rust, [F] especially when I'm [G] long away [C] from home.
[G] Long away [C] from home.
[Am]
Long away [C] from home.
And how do we get him?
Back to the body.
Words jump like salmon.
Takes me home.
Two steps back, on my own.
Three steps to the shore.
Four steps back, and then yo.
[Em] Tonight, [C] [F] I wanted you [Em] to know, [F] I was thinking about you.
[Em] [F] And you look [E] like rust, [F] especially when I'm back [G] in water.
[C] Run through the woods, in the red water.
In the mirror, back in view.
Spend my days just thinking of you.
In the mirror, back in view.
Spend our days just thinking of you.
My whole day just thinking of you.
I'm thinking of you.
Tonight, [F] I wanted you to [Em] know, [C] I was thinking [F] about [C]
you.
[F] And you look like
[Em] rust, [C] [F] especially when [C]
[G] I'm long away [C] from home.
Long away from home.
Long away from home.
Long away from home.
Alright, thank you guys out there.
Thanks for tuning in.
So happy to be here.
