Of all the stupid things I could have thought this was the worst
D A Bm F#m G D G Asus4
I started to believe that I was born at seventeen
D A Bm F#m G D G Asus4
And all the stupid things, the letters and the broken verse
D A Bm F#m G D G Asus4
Stayed hidden at the bottom of the drawer, they'd always been
D A Bm F#m G D G Asus4
And now I plough through files of bills receipts and credit cards
D A Bm F#m G A
And tickets and the daily news and sometimes I just wanna go back to my
Bm F#m G D
Home Town, though I know it'll never be the same
A Bm F#m G
Back to my home town, 'cause it's been so long,
A E [D]
And I'm wondering if it's still there ... ooh ooh ooh

D A Bm F#m G D G Asus4
We think we're pretty smart, us city slickers get around
D A Bm F#m G D G Asus4
And when the going's rough we kill the pain and relocate
D A Bm F#m G D G Asus4
We're never married, never faithful not to any town
D A Bm F#m G D G Asus4
But we never leave the past behind we just accumulate
D A Bm F#m G D G Asus4
So sometimes when the music stops I seem to hear a distant sound
D A Bm F#m G
Of waves and seagulls, football crowds and churchbells,
A
And I wanna go back to my
Bm F#m G D
Home Town, though I know it'll never be the same
A Bm F#m G
Back to my home town, 'cause it's been so long,
A [E]
And I'm wondering if it's still there
