My friends try to cheer me up. I get to geth er at the Piz za Hut. I did n’t have the heart to tell ’em that was our place. These sleep y street lights on ev ’ry (F)side walk, side street, they shed a light on ev ’ry (F)thing that (G)used to be. (C)Give me back my home town. ’Cause this is my home town. (Am)Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh, (C)yeah, (F)yeah. la (Am)ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, (C)yeah, (F)yeah.
