Key: B
Introduction:
D
I'd love to speak with Leonard
Em
He's a sportsman and a shepherd
G D
He's a lazy bastard living in a suit
D
But he does say what I tell him
Em
Even though it isn't welcome
G D A/C#
He just doesn't have the freedom to refuse
Bm
He will speak these words of wisdom
A F#
Like a sage, a man of vision
Bm E
Though he knows he's really nothing
G E/G# A
But the brief elaboration of a tube
D Em
Going home without my sorrow
C G
Going home sometime tomorrow
C G Bm A
Going home to where it's better than before
D Em
Going home without my burden
C G
Going home behind the curtain
C G Bm A
Going home without the costume that I wore
D
He wants to write a love song
Em
An anthem of forgiving
G D A
A manual for living with defeat
D
A cry above the suffering
C Em
A sacrifice recovering
G D A
But that isn't what I need him to complete
Bm D
I want him to be certain
A F#
That he doesn't have a burden
Bm E
That he doesn't need a vision
G E
That he only has permission
A F#
To do my instant bidding
Bm E A
Which is to say what I have told him to repeat
D Em
Going home without my sorrow
C G
Going home sometime tomorrow
C G Bm A
Going home to where it's better than before

Going home without my burden
C G
Going home behind the curtain

I'm going home without my sorrow

Going home sometime tomorrow

Going home to where it's better than before

Going home without my burden

Going home behind the curtain
C G Bm A
Going home without the costume that I wore
