Am
You restless son
C
You ribbon winner
Dm                     G
Did everything so they could see

Am
Did it turn out right?
C
You living with her?
Dm                     G
Are you looking for a chance to leave?

[Chorus]
Dm             Am
Cairo come back home
Am                    C
Twenty-eight days of delirium
Dm             Am
Three is a crowd and two is in love
C             Dm
But I can't sleep alone

Dm          Am
Cairo oh my soul
Am                    C
Twenty-eight nights and now I'm low
Dm             Am
Can't get by and I can't let go
C
And I can't sleep alone

[Verse 2]
Am
Did you try too hard?
C
Your mind too meager
Dm                     G
The whispers follow when you leave

Am
You read it wrong
C
A bold-face fever
Dm                     G
You've stolen everything that you believe

[Bridge]
Am
No face for feeding
C
Watch you grow thinner
G                     Em
No steady stream of human life

Am
Now you're leeching blood
C
You red-mouthed sinner
Dm                     Em
Chasing anything into the night

[Chorus]
Dm             Am
Cairo come back home
Am                    C
Twenty-eight days of delirium
Dm             Am
Three is a crowd and two is in love
C             Dm
But I can't sleep alone

Dm          Am
Cairo oh my soul
Am                    C
Twenty-eight nights and now I'm low
Dm             Am
Can't get by and I can't let go
C
And I can't sleep alone

Dm
Cairo
Am
Cairo
Dm
Cairo
Am
Cairo

Dm             Am
Cairo come back home
Am                    C
Twenty-eight days of delirium
Dm             Am
Three is a crowd and two is in love
C             Dm
But I can't sleep alone

Dm          Am
Cairo oh my soul
Am                    C
Twenty-eight nights and now I'm low
Dm             Am
Can't get by and I can't let go
C
And I can't sleep alone

Dm
Cairo
Am
Cairo
Dm
Cairo
C
Cairo
