Long ing for home a gain,

I’m al right, I’m al right.
It on ly hurts when I breathe.
(CN.C.)And I can’t (C#m)ask for things to be still a gain.
No, I can’t (C#m)ask if I
could (Amaj7)walk through the (C#m)world in your eyes.
Long ing for home a gain,
but (C#m)home

I’m al right, I’m al right.
It on ly hurts when I breathe.
I’m al right, I’m al right.
It on ly hurts when I breathe.
My (C#m)win dow through which noth ing hides
and ev ’ry thing sings.
I’m (C#m)count ing the signs
and curs ing the miles in be tween,
(A)oh.
And (C#m)home

when I breathe,
oh, it (C#m)on ly (B)hurts when I breathe.
