Hometown

[Verse]
G
On the verge of a breakdown
G           C
Back in her hometown
C                   G
Never thought she'd settle down
G               D/F#
In a place like this
D/F#               G
Cold coffee on the back porch
G                    C
Wooden chair rocking back and forth
C                      G
Now she wonders how it all went down
D/F#            G
Back in her hometown

[Verse]
G
Most people never left
G                    C
Found a job and filled in the rest
C                   G
Never got around to leaving the nest
G                     D/F#
Holding on to not let go
D/F#               G
But that path just wasn’t for her
G                           C
She got out faster than the fireworks
C                  G
Never took time to slow it down
G         D/F#            G
Now she’s back in her hometown

[Chorus]
G       C                         G
Looking out at the cedars and the oaks
G   C                               G      D/F#
The mourning dove sings beneath the sky of blue
D/F#                  G
All the thoughts that led her out
G                C
On that road, without a doubt
C              G
Somewhere they fizzled out
G         D/F#            G
Now she’s back in her hometown

[Verse]
G
What makes a life complete?
G                      C
Roads traveled and the people you meet?
C                 G
Or is it just the silence
G               D/F#
Of the times in between?
D/F#                      Em
Her mind is racing as she sits alone
Em                    C
In the place that she used to call home
C            G
Memories are all around
D/F#        G
Back in her hometown

[Chorus]
G       C                          G
Looking out at the light above the hills
G   C                      G      D/F#
Her mama sings beneath the sky of blue
D/F#                  G
All the thoughts that led her out
G                 C
On that road, without a doubt
C              G
Somewhere they fizzled out
D/F#              G
Back in her hometown
