Intro: C F Jesus at the table in the early morn' C "Dad, I've been thinking I got to get born F Got to mean something heavy to somebody somewhere C I don't know who I am, but I can't stay here" G C I didn't mean to stand up, I didn't mean to daydream G C I didn't want to hear it calling my name F C Regular life don't suit me at all G F C Oh, I gotta get going, I'm still not home G F C Oh, I try so hard and I'm still not home F Robert Johnson was trembling, calling for help C At the edge of the field talking to himself F Not a woman, not a dollar, not even his soul C Feels as good in his hands as that old guitar G C He say, "Nobody sees how desperate I'm torn G C I feel like I'm crazy the way that I'm going F C Don't know if it's from up high or way down low G F C Oh, I try so hard and I'm still not home G F C Hey, I gotta get going and I'm still not home Bridge: F C You know that ache's grown so familiar F C How many times I got to shoo it from my door F C Putting the shine on the far side of the river G Oh, come round to bruise me up a little bit more C Come round to bruise me up just a little bit more Instrumental: C F C F C F One day I'm gonna light like a season of green C And my heart is gonna run like a flying machine F Lipstick and a nickel in the pocket of my coat C And I won't even care if I never come back G C All the windows open and the wind like wheels G C Nobody can tell you the way that it feels F C Oh, but lord, if you could see the way I'm gonna soar G F C Oh, I gotta get going, I'm still not home G F C Oh, I best be going, I'm still not home G F C Oh, I try so hard and I'm still not home G F C Oh, I gotta get going, I'm still not home
