Hometowns Make Bad Homes

Am F C G


[Verse 1]
       Am                 F
Well I wrote this song to myself
          C                G
Remind me never to go back home
              Am                      F
Cos while I'm sitting here resting my bones
     C                 G
I'll forever miss that open road (ooh)


[Chorus]
   Am
Oh wanderin
                F
I should be out wanderin
            C                    G
I should be bouncin from town to town
   Am                       F
Oh Wanderin I should be out wanderin
           C                G
I'd always rather be roamin around


[Interlude]
Am F C G
Am F C G


[Verse 2]
         Am                 F
While it seems so perfectly familiar
  C                        G
I think that's a reason to leave
            Am            F
Because the longer I stay put
         C                 G
The more trouble there may be


[Chorus]
   Am
Oh wanderin
                F
I should be out wanderin
            C                    G
I should be bouncin from town to town
   Am                       F
Oh Wanderin I should be out wanderin
           C                G
I'd always rather be roamin around


[Verse 3]
           Am                              F
And I knew when I got home that there'd be nothing left for me
      C
Since dad's not there and mom don't want me
        G
There's nothin left dontcha see
         Am
I fucked myself there's bills to pay
    F
I'm thinking Of cleaning up
      C
Get a job and a place for my dog for a little bit
    G
Cos busking isn't enough
         Am
Oh these snobby rich kids in suburban homes
       F
In the south they won't pay my bills
        C
So I'll sit in the cold for a few winter months
G
Hoping that I don't grow ill


[Chorus]
                Am
I should be out wanderin
                F
I should be out wanderin
            C                 G
I should be on a train headed south
   Am                       F
Oh Wanderin I should be out wanderin
           C                       G
Oh why the fuck am I stuck in this town?

Am F C G
