But for now, I want my feet on the ground,
'Cause I feel like going home
I can float above the ceiling, I like drifting through the air,
Tend to lose my concentration...
But right now, the clouds don't appeal too much
I feel like going home
Bridge:
D D
Sometimes late at night, while running from the rain,
G G
Running from the voices filling up my brain
C G
How I wish they'd leave me alone
D G
And let me be to go off on my own,
C G
Let me be to go home,
G
I feel like going home
The outro is a little weird; it's basically a repetition of the same melody on the
guitar. Here's my best shot at tabbing this melody:
|e-------------------------|
|B---3-3---3-5---3---5-3---|
|G---4-3---4-5---4---5-4---|
|D-------------------------|
|A-------------------------|
|E-------------------------|
Thanks! Hope this tab helped.
