Chords for Joe Jackson - HomeTown

_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Am] Of [Bm] all the stupid [F#m]
things [G] I could have thought, _ this was the [A] worst.
[D] _ _ _ [B] _ [Bm] I started to [F#m] believe [G] that I was born at seventeen.
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Bm] And all the stupid [F#m] things, [G] the letters and the broken [A] verse,
_ [D] _ [A] stay hidden [Bm] at the bottom [G] of the [D] drawer [G] they'd always [D] been.
_ [A] Now [Bm] I plow through [F#m] piles of [D] bills, receipts [G] and credit [A] cards,
[D] and tickets _ [Bm] and the daily [F#m]
news.
[G] And sometimes I just want to [B] go back to my _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[F#m] hometown.
_ _ Though I [G] know it'll never be the [D] same, back [Bm] to my hometown.
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [G] It's been so long, and [A] I'm wondering if it's [E] still there. _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [B] _ We think we're pretty [F#m] tough, _ [G] _ us city [D] slickers, [G]
we get [A] around.
_ _ [D] _ _ [B] _
[Bm] And when the [F#m] going's rough, [G] we kill the pain and _ _ [B] relocate.
[D] _
[B] We're never [Bm] married, never [G] faithful, [D] not [G] to any town.
[D] But [A] we never [Bm] leave the past [G] behind, [D] we just [G] accumulate.
[A] _ So sometimes when the [Bm] music [F#m] stops, _ _ _ [G] I seem [D] to [G] hear a distant _ [A] sound
[D] of waves [A] and [Bm] seagulls and football [F#m]
crowds [G] and church [D] bells.
And I [G]
want to go [A] back to my [D] hometown.
[Bm] _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ Though [G] I know it'll never be the [D] same, [A] back to [Bm] my _ _ [F#m] hometown. _ _ _
Cause [G] it's been so long, [A] and I'm wondering if [E] it's still there. _ _ _
