Lyrics

SHOULD I BOTHER COMING HOME?
VERSE 1
CAPO 1
A D
I've been out here on this pipeline in the middle of nowhere working
A E D A E
sixteen hours everyday. I just got off the phone with my best friend. He saw
A
you yesterday.
D A D
You were out with your old friends. He was sure it was you even though the
A D A E
place was dim. Your old lover was there and you were acting awful
A
friendly to him.
CHORUS
D E
I have some questions I need to ask you and I really need to know if what I
D E
heard is the truth or if it isn't so.
D E A
I realize your lonely. I promise you I'm lonely too. I'm not accusing you of
E
anything or telling you what to do.
D E D
I don't want to lose my mind wondering what's going on. I need to ask you
E A
one more question. Should I bother coming home?

VERSE 2
A D A E
We decided together I would do this. We knew that it wasn't for forever. We
D A E A
had our hearts set on a little piece of land that's down by the river.
D A E A
Is everything I'm doing still important to you or am I wasting my time? Am
D A E A
I worrying myself about nothing and is everything just fine?
REPEAT CHORUS
