Walking down the main street of this town where I was born 
G		D                    Em	       C 
Looking at the things I?ve seen so many times before 
G		          D              Em	           C       
I take a deep breath, smile and kick a stone along the ground 
G                D             G 
Been so long since I?ve been around

There's comfort in the way that everything still looks the same, 
G		   D              Em	          C 
and people that I bump into they call me by my name, 
G		D                 Em	            C 
It almost feels as though I never even left this town 
G             D                  G

G		                D           Em	         C 
And My girlfriend she lived on Hawdon St - man was she a sight, 
G		   D               Em	           C 
Sometimes I would sneak into her bedroom late at night, 
G		          D                Em	                C 
Now she's not there - I'm told her family long since left the town, 
G             D                 G

G		          D                    Em	          C 
Yeah Many of my friends they found some other place they'd rather be 
G		       D                     Em	        C 
But I still now of one good mate shes gunna  keep me company 
G		               D             Em	            C 
But I think I?m gonna call her up, we'll go and paint the town,

I stopped on by her place, years ago I knew her well 
G		     D                    Em	       C 
"lets go drink to old times at the Adelaide hotel' 
G		    D                      Em	            C 
She said its twenty years now since they shut that old pub down 
G             D               G 
Been so long since I?ve been around 
 
G		             D               Em	                  C 
Yeah But the hospital's still standing, down over by the river shore 
G		             D                   Em	      C 
That's the place where I took my first breath, so many years before 
G		     D               Em	               C 
I take a deep breath now and feel my chest begin to pound 
G            D                G

G		     D             Em	       C 
Now I'm lying by the river feeling lazy in the shade 
G		   D            Em	           C 
Children shout and splash about in water where I played 
G		   D            Em	                 C 
And I'm thinking I could stay a while, maybe  settle down, 
G                 D           G
