F, E, F, E 

[Verse 1]

F
So listen up
D
I worked in daylight feeding fashion to housewives
F
for just this once
D
I'll take my chances on truck stops and state lines
F
go ahead and tell them again
D
well I think I know that they won't remember
F
go ahead and tell them twice
D
yeah, twice is nice but three times is just right

[Chorus]

Am                 F
Hey, hey now we're almost home
G                                              F
I'm missing you to death, but it's all for the best, I know
Am             F
Hey, hey we're not far from home
G                     F
I've got my pride and I'll let you sleep tonight

[Verse 2]

F
So listen up
D
my old friends have been dropping like houseflies
F
the smoking gun
D
still sits in my pocket and I know how to use it
F
go ahead and tell them again
D
well I think that I know that I won't forgive them
F
for turning their backs when we started to get busy
D
well yeah, twice is fine but three times is just right

[Chorus]

Am                 F
Hey, hey now we're almost home
G                                              F
I'm missing you to death, but it's all for the best, I know
Am             F
Hey, hey we're not far from home
G                     F
I've got my pride and I'll let you sleep tonight
Am                 F
Hey, hey now we're almost home
G                                            
I'm missing you to death, missing you to death
F
hey, hey we're not far from home
G                      F
I swallow my pride and push back my seat tonight
