AEADA Nobody is home, I’m broke but can spend this dime EADA To call on the phone, I’ll wait and try just one more time EF#mAD I’ve been standing in this phone booth instead of walking in the rain B7DA To the honky tonk a mile from here where EDA I could ease the pain not knowing she’s gone again DEA And nothin’ still the same
I know that she’s gone she would wait for me to call I knew all along she’d picked me up to watch me fall And know I’ve hitchhiked from here to Memphis Fourteen hours in the rain, you know she wrote me not to bother to Call her if I came, seems she’s gone before she’s left again And nothin’ still the same
Chorus: DAF#mA And it’s been raining on the freeway bout as far as I can see EDAE The sky is grey and it’s just the way it always rains on me DADA No sun today she’s gone way, why can’t hope let me be
Instrumental verse +: And I’ve been standing in this phone booth wishing I could blame the rain For being here instead of her wind, Nothin’ still the same I wonder if she’ll call again Since nothin’ still the same
Chorus + Nobody is home and nothin’ still the same
