| It's | tired and I'm | getting late |
| A | G | D | |
| I | try to speak, but I | can't relate |
| Em | |
| The DJ says I need my rest |
| G | A | |
| But like a storm lost bird, I can't | find my nest. |
| D | G | F | C | |
| I've got to get | home to | you |

| The | stranger smokes smiles and | wants to speak |
| A | G | D | |
| And says | do you remember the corner on | Beacon Street |
| Em | |
| And the glimpse of life that I have seen |
| G | A | |
| Fading faintly | in my dreams |
| D | G | F | C | |
| I've got to get | home to | you |

| She says, "You're not smiling, you must be sad |
| G | A | |
| Yes, this lonesomeness is the | worst I've had |

| Ev | ery day we | do and die |
| Em | |
| But the path was lost in the falling snow |
| G | A | |
| As we danced our days out | here below. |
| D | G | F | C | |
| I've got to get | home to | you |
| D | G | F | C | D | G | F | C | D | |
| Home to | you | home to | you |
