Bm A D G A D G

      D
I'd love to speak with Leonard
            Em
He's a sportsman and a shepherd
           G                                   D
He's a lazy bastard living in a suit

            D
But he does say what I tell him
          Em
Even though it isn't welcome
             G                                           D      A/C#
He just doesn't have the freedom to refuse

            Bm
He will speak these words of wisdom
           A                   F#
Like a sage, a man of vision
                   Bm                        E
Though he knows he's really nothing
             G               E/G#           A
But the brief elaboration of a tune

            D                            Em
Going home without my sorrow
            C                            G
Going home sometime tomorrow
            C                            G                 Bm    A
Going home to where it's better than before

            D                           Em
Going home without my burden
            C                            G
Going home behind the curtain
            C                            G                   Bm   A
Going home without the costume that I wore

Bm A D G A D G

       D
He wants to write a love song
       Em
An anthem of forgiving
      G                                 D     A
A manual for living with defeat

    D
A cry above the suffering
     C                Em
A sacrifice recovering
              G                          D                     A
But that isn't what I need him to complete

   Bm                       D
I want him to be certain
               A                        F#
That he doesn't have a burden
              Bm                           E
That he doesn't need a vision

              G                   E
That he only has permission
      A                      F#
To do my instant bidding
                   Bm                      E                  A
Which is to say what I have told him to repeat
