A HEART NEEDS A HOME
Richard Thompson
(guitar capo 3rd fret to play with "Hokey Pokey" recording)
(I sometimes use alternate chords in parentheses)
I know the way that I feel about you
() ()
I'm never gonna run away
I'm never gonna run away
I never knew the way when I lived without you
() ()
I'm never gonna run away
I'm never gonna run away
I came to you when no one could hear me
() () () () () () ()
I'm sick and weary of being alone
Empty streets and hungry faces
() () () () ()
The world's no place when you're on your own
() ()
A heart needs a home
Some people say that I should forget you
I'm never gonna be a fool
I'm never gonna be a fool
A better life, they say, if I'd never met you
I'm never gonna be a fool
I'm never gonna be a fool
Tongues talk fire and eyes cry rivers
Indian givers, hearts of stone
Paper ships and painted faces
The world's no place when you're on your own
A heart needs a home
