Ch All

Better Be Home Soon

(N. Finn)

 

somewhere deep inside

something's got a hold on you

and it's pushing me aside

see it stretch on forever

I know I'm right

for the first time in my life

that's why I tell you

you'd better be home soon

stripping back the coats

of lies and deceiption

back to nothingness

like a week in the desert

I know I'm right

for the first time in my life

that's why I tell you

C Em7/B*

you'd better be home soon

so don't say no, don't say nothing's wrong

cos when you get back home maybe I'll be gone

INSTR. BREAK:

C Am Em F Bb7*

it would cause me pain

if we were to end it

but I could start again

you can depend on it

I know I'm right

for the first time in my life

that's why I tell you

you'd better be home soon

that's why I tell you

you'd better be home soon

Can't Carry On

(N. Finn)

NOTE:

-- Another of these songs where, although I've given chords, what Neil

Finn is playing guitar-wise is a chord with different, little fills in

between the lyric lines.

Why do I kid myself

Why do I scream for pleasure

It's four in the morning should know better

But she can weave a spell

Want it to last forever

Making me feel like somebody special

Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)

Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)

Doing damage to my brain (just go to sleep)

Well here we go again

Though I look everywhere

I never seem to find it

Always a shadow around a corner

Drown it in alcohol

Stuck in the elevator

Hard to remember in the morning

Tell you about myself

If you're in the mood to listen

Baby you don't know who you're kissing

This is a lonely world

You are a strange companion

When you get what you wanted

You want to leave

Honestly I want to free myself
