by Mountain Goats


Intro: 
                          
Fog lifts from the harbor, dawn goes down to day
                                 
An agent crests the shadows of the nearby alleyway
                       
Piles of broken bricks, sign posts on the path
                              
Every moment points towards the aftermath
Yeah

Interlude: , ,  X2

                                
Sailors straggle back from their nights out on the town
                             
Hopeless urchins from the city gather round
                         
Spies from imperial China wash in with the tide
                        
Every battle heads toward surrender on both sides

                               
Chorus: And I am coming home to you
                         
With my own blood in my mouth
                  
And I am coming to you
                            
If it’s the last thing that I do


                        
Bells ring in the tower, wolves howl in the hills
                                
Chalk marks show up on a few high windowsills
                                      
And a rabbit gives up somewhere, and a dozen hawks descend
                            
Every moment leads toward its own sad end
Yeah

(Interlude)

                                
Ships loosed from their mornings capsize and then they’re gone
                             
Sailors with no captains watch awhile and then move on
                                     
And an agent crests the shadows and I head in her direction
                        
All roads lead toward the same blocked intersection

                           
Chorus: I am coming home to you
                          
With my own blood in my mouth
                  
And I am coming to you
                            
If it’s the last thing that I do

( Do the interlude 3 or 4 times and end on C )

Notes:
-When playing Em only play the top three strings like a power chord
-Number of times interlude will vary throughout the song but is still all the same
