Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
No  one knows
 What's waiting  where you go
 Nothings certain  but the fact  that you're leaving
But  still you roam
 From the straight  and narrow road
 Riding nothing  but the lies  that you believe  in
Frame  after frame
 The pictures  still remain
Photographs  of all  the hearts you've broken
Frozen  in time
 Are the ghosts  you left behind
Waiting  for the words  you left unspoken
 Lead-in to chorus: Em A
Dear  Home  Town
 I never meant  to let you down
 When I sold  my soul  for a song
The  dreams are to blame
 They still linger  and remain
 In the heart  of a child  who's been gone
Dear Home Town
Tell  the girl
 It's a wide  and wondrous world
Room  enough to leave  a life your hating
The  highway runs both ways
 And there's seat's  left on the train
If  you take it to the station,  I'll be waiting
 (Chorus)
Dear  Home  Town
 I never meant  to let you down
 When I sold  my soul  for a song
The  dreams are to blame
 They still linger  and remain
 In the heart  of a child  who's been gone
Dear Home Town
 (nothing)
 Tell my Mom
 That I miss her lovin' smile
 Tell my Father
 That I really  miss his laughter
 (verse chords here)
 Tell my sisters  and my brothers
 Tell my friends  and all the others
 That we'll meet  in the Sweetest Hereafter
 (Double oh no no no)
