CF
It’s ’91, a war is on
G
I watch in black, white, and green
CFG
My mother dances around like there ain’t no rip in the seam
AmFG
While she waltzes with ghosts, I can feel what went wrong
CF
She’s here, but she’s not
G
Just like her, I’m not home
[Chorus]:
CFG (C)
Just like her, I’m not home
CFG (C)
Just like her, I’m not home
CFG (C)
Yeah, I’m here, but I’m not
[Verse 2]:
CFG
Storefronts change and the war on
G
So I rip floorboards from our place
CFG
Black out all our windows and then I kick them from their frames
CF
Now, you can dance with anyone
G
You could tattoo yourself a fucking sleeve
CF
‘Cause you’re here, but you’re not
G
Just like you, I can’t leave
[Chorus]:
CFG (C)
Just like you, I can’t leave
CFG (C)
Just like you, I can’t leave
CFG
And I’m here, but I’m not
C
I’m here, but I’m not
[Verse 3]:
CFG
Then someone new comes along, steals the weight from your war
AmC7F
Flickers a light, and you’re sure that you have been here before
GG#dimAm
She could have anyone, but she’s asking after your dreams
CF
Hey, I know what I’m not
G
But looking at you, I can’t leave
[Chorus]:
CFG (C)
Just like you, I can’t leave
CFG (C)
Just like you, I can’t leave
CFG
And I’m here, but I’m not
C
I’m here, but I’m not
[Outro]
CFG
Said we’ve been gone just a little too long now
CFG
We’ve been gone just a little too long now
