Joe Jackson

^D Of ^A all the ^Bm stupid ^F#m things I ^G could have ^D thought ^A this was the worst
^D I ^A started ^Bm to be ^F#m lieve that ^G I was ^D born at ^A seventeen
^D And ^A all the ^Bm stupid ^F#m things, the ^G letters ^D and the ^A broken verse
^D Stayed ^A hidden ^Bm at the ^F#m bottom ^G of the ^D drawer, they'd ^A always been
^D And ^A now I ^Bm plough through ^F#m files of ^G bills rec ^D eipts and ^A credit cards
^D and ^A tickets ^Bm and the ^F#m daily ^G news and sometimes I just ^A wanna go back to my
Chorus
^D Home ^F#m Town, though I ^G know it'll never be the ^A same
Back to my ^D home ^F#m town, 'cause it's ^G been so long,
A F#m (???)
and I'm wondering if it's still there.
We think we're pretty smart, us city slickers get around
And when the goping's rough we kill the pain and relocate
We're never married, never faithful not to any town
But we never leave the past behind it just accumulates
So sometimes when the music stops I seem to hear a distant sound
Of waves and seagulls, football crowds and churchbells
