[Intro] D E A D E A D A E A D E A [Verse 1]
D     E            A
  I'm back in your town

D     E        A
  I'm walking around

D            A
Crossing the street

  E          A
Unsure on my feet

        D         E        A
And I'm carefully looking around

A
Because

D     E            A
  I'm back in your town
[Verse 2]
D     E            A
  I'm back in this burb

D    E           A
  Oh haven't you heard

         D           A
I better look to the right

E                  A
Double decka' just might

D             E            A
Hit me when I step off the curb

A
That's why

D     E            A
  I'm back in this burb
[Verse 3]
        D   E            A
Yes and I'm back in that place

     D                E        A
Last time I left with hardly a trace

    D           A
Now that I've returned

    E               A
Ask me, what have I learned

    D               E          A
Go ahead and take a look on my face

D   E            A
I'm back in that place
[Chorus]
          F#m
You leave someone behind

              D
And you think you won't mind it

         Bm                         A
Till you go back and find you still care

            F#m
Yeah you're back where you started

     D
Undermined, outsmarted

     Bm                         E
By a feeling you thought wasn't there
[Instrumental] D E A
                D E  A
It's still there

A
You know
D A E A D E A [Verse 4]
D          E               A
  I walked right past your house

          D      E             A
  Feeling like a refugee and a louse

D           A
You were at home

        E         A
But you were not alone

         D               E             A
You were there with your kids and your spouse

D          E               A
  I walked right past your house
[Verse 5]
        D   E          A
Yes and I'm feeling bereft

    D              E          A
I'm feeling like I never even left

D            A
Everything's changed

E            A
But it's the same

           D            E          A
It's still all here but nothing is left

D   E          A
I'm feeling bereft
[Chorus]
          F#m
You leave someone behind

              D
And you think you won't mind it

         Bm                         A
Till you go back and find you still care

            F#m
Yeah you're back where you started

     D
Undermined, outsmarted

     Bm                         E
By a feeling you thought wasn't there
[Verse 6]
D     E            A
  I'm back in your town

D     E        A
  I'm walking around

D            A
Crossing the street

  E          A
Unsure on my feet

        D         E        F#m
And I'm carefully looking around

F#m
Hey, hey, hey

D   E            A
I'm back in your town
