C G
There's a carnival in Harlem
Em D
where my lady reads a gospel
C G Em G D
From a bal-co-ny of bones
C G
And I'm on my way to see her
Em D
for as long as I'm without her
C G Em G D
there will be no such thing as home
Em Am C G
Em Am C G
[Verse 1]
Em Am C G
Certainly, I agree this feels right
Em Am C G
And your invitation tempts me so
Em Am C G
Normally, a former me would stay the night
Em Am C G
Oh, but there is somewhere I must go
[Chorus]
C G
There's a carnival in Harlem
Em D
where my lady reads a gospel
C G Em G D
From a bal-co-ny of bones
C G
And I'm on my way to see her
Em D
for as long as I'm without her
C G Em G D
there will be no such thing as home
[Verse 2]
Em Am C G
Lately, I've been half alive and wounded
Em Am C G
Ravaged by the wolves and left for dead
Em Am C G
Oh, it's true I really hate to do this
Em* Am* C G
But there is somewhere I must go instead
[Chorus]
C G
There's a carnival in Harlem
Em D
where my lady reads a gospel
C G Em G D
From a bal-co-ny of bones
C G
And I'm on my way to see her
Em D
for as long as I'm without her
C G Em G D
there will be no such thing as home
[Bridge]
Em G Am
She believes in Haunted Things
C Em C D
And tells me I'm a fascinating liar
Em G Am
We believe in Haunted Things
C Em C D
I tell you we're a building on fire
[Chorus]
C G
There's a carnival in Harlem
Em D
where my lady reads a gospel
C G Em G D
From a bal-co-ny of bones
C G
And I'm on my way to see her
Em D
for as long as I'm without her
C G Em G D
there will be no such thing as home
[Outro]
C G Em G D
there will be no such thing as home
(slower) C G Em G D
there will be no such thing as home
