Standard (EADGBE)
Nobody is home, Im broke but can spend this dime
To call on the phone, Ill wait and try just one more time
Ive been standing in this phone booth instead of walking in the rain
To the honky tonk a mile from here where
I could ease the pain not knowing shes gone again
And nothin still the same
I know that shes gone she would wait for me to call
I knew all along shed picked me up to watch me fall
And know Ive hitchhiked from here to Memphis
Fourteen hours in the rain, you know she wrote me not to bother to
Call her if I came, seems shes gone before shes left again
And nothin still the same
Chorus
And its been raining on the freeway bout as far as I can see
The sky is grey and its just the way it always rains on me
No sun today shes gone way, why cant hope let me be
Instrumental verse +:
And Ive been standing in this phone booth wishing I could blame the rain
For being here instead of her wind,
Nothin still the same I wonder if shell call again
Since nothin still the same
Chorus +
Nobody is home and nothin still the same
