HOMESICK (Soul Asylum)
Words & music: Dave Pirner

Fmaj7 = (EADGBe) 102210 or xx3210; other chords are pretty basic.  -Ben

C         G
I want to live with you
       D
In the fifth dimension
     Am
In a dream I've never had
       Fmaj7        G
'Cause I just can't live like this
     Am
In a world like this
       F
I just want to kiss goodbye

        C                       G
CHORUS:  But we are not of this world
           C                    G
        And there's a place for us
        F                 G
        Stuck inside this fleeting moment
        F                 Am
        Tucked away where no one owns it
        F               C               Am               D
        Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away
            C           G
        And oh, I am so homesick
               Am
        But it ain't that bad
                   C                D               G
        'Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had

And though I sometimes get annoyed
I know just where I'm at
This is my song of joy
And now I know there are no secret tricks
No correct politics
Just liars and lunatics

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL: C G D Am

Fmaj7                       G
 Though I would not take it personally
              Am
It's just the child in me
    C            D               Em
Who never really knew how much I had
C                   G
 Woe is me, I am so homesick
       Am
But it ain't that bad,
           C                D               G
'Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had

No Picture Tye Musical Genius	#1 by Tye williston at Aug 18, 1975 at 7:52 AM EST
	No comments?! This song is like my life. It's about chasing things you'll never have, because you need a small amount of comfort. About how the world is such an evil place and no one realises the truth about it, and how we don't belong here because we could have made something so much better. Everyone's rushing about and they don't stop and focus on what's going wrong in their surroundings. About longing for a feeling, a place of security because you've never felt/had it. And yes, the song seems like it's really selfish and confrontational, but it's because we don't realise what we'd lose if we hadn't sacrificed all the things that are being described as missing (ie the perfect world). It's almost sarcastic, "Sorry if I'm being selfish, but what I truely wanted was thrown away for things that I probably didn't need and definately didn't appreciate". I love it so much. I grew up singing the album, now I understand what it means, and I've lived my life by it. BJS xXx
