[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][F#m]
[D][Bm][F#m][D][Bm][F#m]
[D]of [A]all [D]the stupid

[Verse 1]
things I
could have thought this was [Em]the worst [D]I started to
to believe that [G]I was born a[D]t 1[G]7[A][D]
and [A]all [D]the stupid thing[F#m]s,
the [D]letters and the broken [Em]verse
[D]stayed hidden at the bottom [F#m]of
[G]the drawer the[D]y'd always bee[Em]n[A][D]
Now I plow through piles of [G]bills, [D]receipts,
and cred[G]it card[A]s, [D]and tickets, an[A]d the [D]daily news
And [G]sometimes [D]I just w[G]ant to
go back [D]to my hometown
Though I [G]know it'll never be [D]the same,
back to my ho[G]metown
[D]Cau[F#m]se it's been so l[D]ong,[G]
and I'm [D]wondering if [A]it's still [E]there[Em][D][A][Bm][D][F#m][D]
[Bm][F#m]
[D]We think we're pretty tough,
us city slickers, we get [Em]around
[A]An [D]d whe[A]n the[D] going's rough,
we [G]kill [D]the pain and [G]relocate
[D]We're never married,
[F#m]never [D]faithful, not to [G]any town
[A]But[D] we never leave the past behind,
[G]we jus[D]t accumulat[G]e
[A]So [D]sometimes when the music stops,
[F#m]I seem t[D]o hea[G]r a[D] distant sound [Em]of wav[A]es [D]and
[A]seagulls [D]and football crowds
and [G]church bells.
[D]And I want [G]to go back to
my [D]ho [Bm]met [D]own,
Though I [G]know it'll never be the [D]same,
back to my [G]ho [Bm]met [D]own
[F#m]Cause it's b[G]een so long,
and I'm [A]wondering if it's [E]still there[Em][G][E][Em][G][D]
[A]Back [D]to my [G]hometown
[D]No, I kno[G]w it'll never be the same
[D]Back to my [A]ho [G]met[Bm] own[D]
Cause it's been so long
[G]And I'm [D]wondering [A]if it's
[E]still there[D][A][Bm][F#m]
[F#]Oooh[F#m]hh
[D]Aaahhh[A][Bm][F#m]
[E][F#m]
