Verse 
 
Fmaj7       A7sus4  D 
Main Street U S A boarded up and dry 
Fmaj7        A7sus4             D 
Knowin' what once was here just makes me wanna cry 
Fmaj7          A7sus4    D 
Used to be the favorite place here 
    F                C             G             D 
Now what remains are memories even time cannot erase 
 
Fmaj7    A7sus4               D 
Old man Johnson's store where we grew up too fast 
Fmaj7        A7sus4        D 
All that remains today are echoes from the past 
Fmaj7        A7sus4  D 
Used to be a boomin' town yeah 
     F                  C            G            D 
Now all that's left is either broken up or broken down 
 
 
          A    Bm7   Am7   D 
Singing Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh 
          C         G 
Where we used to belong 
             C      D 
There ain't nobody home 
       A    Bm7   Am7   D 
Said Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh 
         C            G 
You can knock all you want 
           C     D 
But ain't nobody home 
 
Fmaj7      A7sus4      D 
Packed up moved away runnin' from the past 
Fmaj7      A7sus4        D 
Leavin' behind the dusty dreams and broken glass 
Fmaj7      A7sus4  D 
Used to be a busy town now 
    F         C                   G                 D 
Now everybody passes through but they don't stick around 
 
 
          A    Bm7   Am7   D 
Singing Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh 
          C         G 
Where we used to belong 
             C      D 
There ain't nobody home 
       A    Bm7   Am7   D 
Said Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh 
         C            G 
You can knock all you want 
           C     D 
But ain't nobody home 
 
          Am7                D 
Oh was a news stand on the corner 
      Am7                 D 
Right next to the barber shop 
    Am7               G 
And down the street there 
             Cmaj7 
That's where all the kids would stop 
                Am7                 D 
And they would tease the neighbor's bulldog 
Am7           D 
Laugh and run away 
Am7                G                  Cmaj7 
Now there's no one left who knows the truth in what you say 
 
Interlude

Fmaj7 - Am7 - D 
 
      F         C                G                 D 
Now everybody passes through but they don't stick around 
 
 
          A    Bm7   Am7   D 
Singing Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh 
          C         G 
Where we used to belong 
             C      D 
There ain't nobody home 
       A    Bm7   Am7   D 
Said Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh 
         C            G 
You can knock all you want 
           C     D 
But ain't nobody home 
          A     Bm7    Am7   D 
Singing Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh 
         C          G 
Where we used to belong 
            C       D 
There ain't nobody home 
C            G 
Talk all you want 
          C       D 
But ain't nobody home 
C             G 
Knock all you want 
           C      D 
But ain't nobody home
