Chicago — Mississippi Delta City Blues Scratch Vocal Version

[Verse 1: Terry Kath] I've got a smile That I put on When I'm not at home When I'm not alone Oh, but it is so hard To make that smile Because I know I'll be at home And alone in a while And if I look in a mirror I see my eyes start to tear I can't help but cry Since you said goodbye [Pre-Chorus: Terry Kath] Oh, I've got to hide What I'm feeling inside I can't let them know 'Cause you could hurt me so [Chorus: Terry Kath] I lost heart on the run Won't let them see through I won't let them know That you could hurt me so, yeah, ooh [Verse 2: Terry Kath] I've got a laugh That I put on When I'm not at home When I'm not alone And it's so hard To fake that laugh When my insides are crying My heart's torn in half The music I hear And things I valued so dear Make me feel so blue All remind me of you [Pre-Chorus: Terry Kath] What can I do? Our love is through And my purpose is gone But I must live on [Chorus: Terry Kath] I guess that's what I'll do I won't let them see through I won't let them know That you could hurt me so [Bridge: Terry Kath] Yeah, come on, mhm Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus: Terry Kath] So that's what I'll do Won't let them see through I'll just keep hurting on Until the hurt's all gone [Outro: Terry Kath] You know 'cause I think [?] And you're as fine as [?] [?] that you'll do it all again [?] or friend So come on home, ooh, come on quick Oh darling [?] [?] oh hello, welcome home, hello Come on home now Come on home Come on home Come on home, please Come on home Yeah, yeah, yeah
