 I dreamed  about  killing you again last night
 And it felt  alright to me
 Dying on the banks of Embarcadero skies
 I sat and watched you bleed
 Buried you alive in a fireworks display
 Raining down on me
 You cold, hot blood ran away from me
 To the sea
 I painted my name on the back of a leaf
 And I watched it float away
 The hope I had in a notebook full of white, dry pages
 Was all I tried to save
 But the wind blew me back via Chicago
 In the middle of the night
 And all without fight
 At the crush of veils and starlight
 I know I'll make it back
 One of these days and turn on your TV
 To watch a man with a face like mine
 Being chased down a busy street
 When he gets caught, I wont get up
 And I wont go to sleep
 I'm coming home, I'm coming home
 Via Chicago
 Where the cups are cracked and hooked
 Above the sink
 They make me think
 Crumbling ladder tears don't fall
 They shine down your shoulders
 And crawling is screw faster lash
 I blow it with kisses
 I rest my head on a pillowy star
 And a cracked door moon
 That says I havent gone too far
 I'm coming home
 I'm coming home
 Via Chicago
 Searching for a home
 Searching for a home
 Searching for a home
 Via Chicago
 I'm coming home
 I'm coming home
:  x57675, :  57775, :  xx7655, :  xx5433
 As far as I can tell, that's all there is to the song. It's probably not
 perfect, but it's a starting point for anybody who wants to build on this
 tab. I'm slowly trying to work out the 'A Ghost Is Born' album, cos it's
 an amazing album and there's no tabs from it on any guitar sites. Listen
 to the changes in the chords and work out how to play the Dmaj7-D change.
 It's simple stuff.
