[A] [D] [G] [D] [G]
[A] [D] [F#m] Of all [Bm] the stupid [F#m] [G] things I could [D] have thought, this was the worst.
[F#m] I [Bm] started to [F#m] believe [G] that I [D] was born at 17.
[A] And all [Bm] the stupid [F#m] [G] things, the [D] letters and [G] the broken [D] verse,
stayed hidden at [F#m] the [G] bottom [D] of the [G] drawer they'd always [D] be.
[A] And now [Bm] I plow [F#m] through [G] piles of [D] bills, receipts and credit cards,
and [A] tickets [Bm] and the [F#m] daily [G] news.
And [D] sometimes I just want to go back [Bm] to my [F#m] hometown.
[G] Though I know it'll [D] be the [A] same back [Bm] to my [F#m] hometown.
[G] Cause it's been so [A] long, and I'm wondering if [E] it's still there.

[G] [D] [G] [A] [Bm]
[G] [D] [G] [D] [A] We think [Bm] we're pretty [F#m] smart, [G] our city slickers get it [D] round.
[A] And when [D] the going's rough, [G] we [D] kill the pain [G] and [D] relocate.
We're [Bm] never married, [G] never [D] faithful, not to any town.
But [A] we never [Bm]
[F#m] leave the [G] past behind, we just accumulate.
[D] So [A] sometimes [Bm] when the music [F#m] stops, [G] I seem [D] to hear a distant sound.
Of [A] waves and [Bm] seagulls, [F#m] football [G] crowds and church [D] bells.
And I want to go back to [Bm] my [F#m] hometown.
[G] Though I know it'll never [D] be the same back [Bm] to my [F#m] hometown.
