You Remind Me of Home

By Ben Gibbard

Key of A

A

A                D
You remind me of home
    Bm
The paint cracks when the water leaks
         D                                    A
From the rusty pipes that are just beneath my feet
A                E
You remind me of home
    Bm
The heater's warm but fills the room
       D                         A
With a potpourri of dust and gas fumes

A                D
You remind me of home
  Bm
A broken bed with dirty sheets
     D                               A
That creaks when I am shifting in my sleep
A                E
You remind me of home
        Bm
In a suburban town with nothing to do
D                                  A
Patiently waiting for something to happen

        F#m  A          D (Riff I)
But the foundation is crumbling
F#m   A                          D (Riff II)
And becoming one with the ground
F#m       A                    D (Riff I)
While you lay there in slumber
F#m    A                       D (Riff III)
You're wasting your life, wasting your life
F#m    A                       D (Riff III)
You're wasting your life, wasting your life
F#m    A                       D (Riff III)
You're wasting your life, wasting your life

A

A                D
You remind me of home
Bm
Sitting on a thrift store couch
    D                      A
I'm trying to get this all down
