[Intro]
C | C | F | F | C | F | C | G | x2
[Verse 1]
C
Ain't been alone in a while
F
I took a walk downtown
G F
Look in the windows, watching the wind blow
C G
The people around
C
Go for a drive in the night
F
Out in the blinking lights
G F
There in the back of our old Pontiac
C G
Just as free as you like
[Chorus]
Am F C G
And it's always the same old places crumbling down
Am F C G
And it's always the same old faces walking around
Am F C G
When you stay in your hometown, your old hometown
[Interlude]
C | C | F | F | C | F | C | G
[Verse 2]
C
Our baby rolled on the floor
F
Our baby rolled out the door
G F
One sunny day, she'll come back and say
C G
"I don't live here anymore"
C
There ain't a price you can pay
F
There ain't a reason to stay
G F
My friend down the block, you know we never talk
C G
I guess he wants it that way
[Chorus]
Am F C G
And it's always the same old places crumbling down
Am F C G
When you stay in your hometown, your old hometown
Am F C G
And it's always the same old faces walking around
Am F C
When you stay in your hometown
