Home Town

Joe Jackson

 DABmF#mGDA
 Of all the stupid things I could have thought this was the worst
 DABmF#mGDA
 started to believe that I was born at seventeen
 DABmF#mGDA
 And all the stupid things, the letters and the broken verse
 DABmF#mGDA
 Stayed hidden at the bottom of the drawer, they'd always been
 DABmF#mGDA
 And now I plough through files of bills receipts and credit cards
 DABmF#mGA
 and tickets and the daily news and sometimes I just wanna go back to my

Chorus
 DF#mGA
 Home Town, though I know it'll never be the same
 DF#mG
Back to my home town, 'cause it's 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
