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] G Bm Em G Bm Em [Solo] G Bm Em G Bm Em C Em Am C Em Am D C Bm Am Em Em Em Em Em Em Em G Em G Em G Em G [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
