D I'd love to speak with Leonard Em He's a sportsman and a shepherd G D He's a lazy bastard living in a suit D But he does say what I tell him Em Even though it isn't welcome G D A/C# He just doesn't have the freedom to refuse Bm He will speak these words of wisdom A F# Like a sage, a man of vision Bm E Though he knows he's really nothing G E/G# A But the brief elaboration of a tube D Em Going home without my sorrow C G Going home sometime tomorrow C G Bm A Going home to where it's better than before D Em Going home without my burden C G Going home behind the curtain C G Bm A Going home without the costume that I wore

D He wants to write a love song Em An anthem of forgiving G D A A manual for living with defeat D A cry above the suffering C Em A sacrifice recovering G D A But that isn't what I need him to complete Bm D I want him to be certain A F# That he doesn't have a burden Bm E That he doesn't need a vision G E That he only has permission A F# To do my instant bidding Bm E A Which is to say what I have told him to repeat D Em Going home without my sorrow C G Going home sometime tomorrow C G Bm A Going home to where it's better than before D Em Going home without my burden C G Going home behind the curtain C G Bm A Going home without the costume that I wore
