Intro:

D  A  Em  G
D  A  G

Bm     A
No one knows
       G                 D
What's waiting where you go
         Bm              A                G
Nothings certain but the fact that you're leaving

Bm            A
But still you roam
         G                   D
From the straight and narrow road
       Bm              A               G
Riding nothing but the lies that you believe in

Bm          A
Frame after frame
    G                D
The pictures still remain
Bm             A                     G
Photographs of all the hearts you've broken

Bm        A
Frozen in time
        G                 D
Are the ghosts you left behind
Bm              A                 G
Waiting for the words you left unspoken

Lead-in to chorus:   Em   A

D        A
Dear Home Town
        Em               G
I never meant to let you down
       D        A         G
When I sold my soul for a song
D                 A
The dreams are to blame
           Em         G
They still linger and remain
       D          A                G
In the heart of a child who's been gone
G    A    D
Dear Home Town

Bm       A
Tell the girl
       G                 D
It's a wide and wondrous world
Bm             A                 G
Room enough to leave a life your hating

Bm                    A
The highway runs both ways
            G                  D
And there's seat's left on the train
Bm                    A                G
If you take it to the station, I'll be waiting

(Chorus)
D        A
Dear Home Town
        Em               G
I never meant to let you down
       D        A         G
When I sold my soul for a song
D                 A
The dreams are to blame
           Em         G
They still linger and remain
       D          A                G
In the heart of a child who's been gone
G    A    D
Dear Home Town

Bridge:
Bm  A   G


(nothing)
Tell my Mom
                       D
That I miss her lovin' smile
        Bm
Tell my Father
       A               G
That I really miss his laughter

(verse chords here)
        Bm             A
Tell my sisters and my brothers
        G                   D
Tell my friends and all the others
           Bm          A        G
That we'll meet in the Sweetest Hereafter

(Double oh no no no)

Em   G   Em   A
