[Intro]
G Bm Em G Bm Em
[Verse]
G Bm Em
I saw your mother downtown yesterday
G Bm Em
She didn't know me and her hair was gray
G Bm Em
She told me all her kids had run away
G Bm Em
They called at Christmas time but really what's left to say
[Chorus]
C Em Am
And now the neighbors they don't talk no more
C Em Am D C
And late at night she listens to the wind under the door
C Bm Am
And the cracks in the floor
[Interlude]
G Bm Em G Bm Em
[Verse]
G Bm Em
Oh guess who I ran into in the waiting room
G Bm Em
You know they use to say that kid was born with a silver spoon
G Bm Em
He told me that he left his home much too soon
G Bm Em
Cause no one ever told him about the power of a real full moon
[Chorus]
C Em Am
And than he stopped and just closed his eyes
C Em Am D C Bm Am
And whispered please could someone help him get outside
[Bridge]
Em Bm
And don't tell me you don't hear that hometown calling you
Em
Cause you know what baby your still doing all the same things
Bm
You use to do
C Am
Wo wo darling you never use to wait till tomorrow
D C Bm Am
And now you can't wait at all
[Interlude]

[Verse]
G Bm Em
Hey what's the news in the fashion world
G Bm Em
Is it long or short is it straight or curled
G Bm Em
Does it pull all my last years in a different world
G Bm Em
Does it tell your mother how long ago she was a girl
[Chorus]
C Em Am
And even churchmen are wearing stripes
C Em Am D C
And all the hometown girls are getting in much too late tonight
C Bm Am
I guess they gave up the fight
