   Em
I thought I'd come to you
And your long lazy scene
G
Instate direction, finger on a magazine.
    Em
I'd call you when I need you
                          G
I can't get used to your new name.

Send a body double over with your keys
She'll see you in an hour
Everybody quiet please
Essex House is down the road
The actors want to be alone

Your room is still and soft
As a jeweller's
Incidental music coming down the hall
Remember when I never had to wait for you at all
I wish my hands were yours
As I lay your keys on a magazine

 C
Take me to LaGuardia
                         G
My baby's gonna pay for me.

Bottle from the duty-free
I'll drink it all across the sea.
Lay me down business class
Headphones and a sleeping mask.
She's gonna pay for me
She's gonna pay for me.

Oh, brother, I wish you were home
My brother, I wish you were home
Baby, you're asleep by now
You never stayed awake for me
You never waited up for me
No, you never waited up for me
Now there is nothing I can do
I lost you but I beat the sound
Couldn't if I wanted to
The Concorde doesn't turn around

Oh brother, I wish you were home
My brother, I wish you were home.
