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
G D Em C
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
Been so long since I?ve been around
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
Been so long since I?ve been around
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,
G D G
Been so long since I?ve been around (Middle)
G D Em C
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
Been so long since I?ve been around (middle)
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
Been so long since I?ve been around (outro)
