Em                              D 
How am I gonna get myself back home? 
   Em     D      C 
Ay ay, ay ay, ay ay 
Em                              D 
How am I gonna get myself back home? 
   Em     D      C 
Ay ay, ay ay, ay ay 
 
Em                     C 
We are the last people standing 
      Em D C 
At the end of the night    
Em                     C 
We are the greatest pretenders 
       Em D C 
In the cold morning light 
 
C                     Em 
This is just another night 
    G                 C 
And we've had many of them 
C                        Em 
To the morning we're cast out 
      G                     C 
But I know I'll land here again 
 
Em                              D 
How am I gonna get myself back home? 
   Em     D      C 
Ay ay, ay ay, ay ay 
Em                              D 
How am I gonna get myself back home? 
   Em     D      C 
Ay ay, ay ay, ay ay 
 
There's a light in the bedroom 
But it's dark 
Scattered around on the floor 
All my thoughts 
 
This is just another night 
And we've had many of them 
To the morning we're cast out 
But I know I'll land here again 
 
How am I gonna get myself back home? 
Ay ay, ay ay, ay ay 
How am I gonna get myself back home? 
Ay ay, ay ay, ay ay 
 
C             Em 
The birds are mocking me 
     G          C 
They call to be heard 
C               Em 
The birds are mocking me 
     G          C 
They curse my return 
 
How am I gonna get myself back home? 
Ay ay, ay ay, ay ay 
How am I gonna get myself back home? 
Ay ay, ay ay, ay ay 
 
How am I gonna get myself back home? 
Ay ay, ay ay, ay ay 
How am I gonna get myself back home? 
Ay ay, ay ay, ay ay, I'm lost
