Sad to be alone
                               C  Em G
Your only comfort is the telephone
            D
Homesick again

Thoughts of far away
                            C Em G
Silence is the only way to say
             D
Ain't it a shame

 G            A               D
What's goin' down, she don't understand
           C         Em      D
Can't you be with her every night
 G           A           D
Why must it be, you're away so long
           C      Em    G           D
But she plays along,    and it's alright

D
People all around
                                   C   Em G
You don't see or hear them make a sound
              D
It's not the same

G             A              D
What's goin' down, she don't understand
           C         Em      D
Can't you be with her every night
 G           A           D
Why must it be, you're away so long
           C      Em    G           D
But she plays along,    and it's alright

Solo: (D)

D
Countin' out the days
                                   C Em G
That don't help to ease the days away
               D C Em G
The price you pay
           D
Homesick again…
