Hometown Chords

[Intro]
A   D   A E A
 
 
[Verse 1]
                  A
On the verge of a breakdown
            D
Back in her hometown
                    A
Never thought she’d settle down
                E
In a place like this
 
                   A
Cold coffee on the back porch
                     D
Wooden chair rocking back and forth
                       A
Now she wonders how it all went down
E               A
Back in her hometown
 
 
[Verse 2]
            A
Most people never left
                       D
Found a job and filled in the rest
                    A
Never got around to leaving the nest
                      E
Holding on to not let go
 
                   A
But that path just wasn’t for her
                            D
She got out faster than the fireworks
                   A
Never took time to slow it down
          E               A
Now she’s back in her hometown
 
 
[Chorus]
        D                         A
Looking out at the cedars and the oaks
    D                               A      E
The mourning dove sings beneath the sky of blue
                      A
All the thoughts that led her out
                  D
On that road, without a doubt
               A
Somewhere they fizzled out
          E               A
Now she’s back in her hometown
 
 
[Instrumental]
A   D  A E A
 
 
[Verse 3]
             A
What makes a life complete?
                       D
Roads traveled and the people you meet?
               A
Or is just the silence
                   E
Of the times in between?
 
                          F#m
Her mind is racing as she sits alone
                      D
In the place that she used to call home
             A
Memories are all around
E               A    Bm
Back in her hometown
 
 
[Chorus]
A       D                          A
Looking out at the light above the hills
    D                      A      E
Her mama sings beneath the sky of blue
                      A
All the thoughts that led her out
                  D
On that road, without a doubt
               A
Somewhere they fizzled out
E               A
Back in her hometown
 
 
[Outro]
A  D
               A
Somewhere they fizzled out
E               A
Back in her hometown
