Intro: E
E
So the wind that blows across your room,
A
Carried cheap perfume onto your dresser,
E
It rained for jewelery and for credit cards,
A E
Two tickets to a film I don't remember,
A
One day you'll kiss your rabbit's nose, pick up the phone,
E
To find I've been turned over,
A
You grab that piece of gold,
E
Only to find that the smell has taken over,
A
And all the things you had,
B7
They aren't the same
E
As what you hold
E
Now I'm standin' in a room,
A
That's filled with older folks,
E
They're pleading baby listen,
E
And I scream as loud as anyone,
A
But when asked to make a point,
E
I tend to whisper
A
Now highways turn to tidal waves,
E
And they're asking me to export all of your insecurities,
A
But that wind that blows across your room, it's gonna set the sails,
E B7
And send me back to you, ooh,
Chorus:
E
Sometimes, when sailors are sailin', they,
A
Think twice, about where they're anchorin'
E
And I think, I could make better use,
A
Of my time on land,
E
I'll drink less,
Cause Lord knows I could use a,
A
Warm kiss instead of a cold goodbye
Gb
I'm writing the folks back home to tell them,
A
Hey I'm doing all right

E
It's an inside joke, love is coming home
