   Guess who just got back today?
   C                                   E
   Those wild-eyed boys that had been away
   B                                 E
   Haven't changed, haven't much to say
   A                                       D
   But man, I still think those cats are great
   G                              B
   They were asking if you were around
   C                                 E
   How you was, where you could be found
   D                              E
   I told them you were living downtown
   A                         D
   Driving all the old men crazy
   G                         A                      C
   The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
   G                            A                            C
   I said the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town.
   G                                        B
   You know the chick that used to dance a lot
   C                                                B
   Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
   E                             A                C
   Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
   D
   I mean she was steaming
   G                             B
   That night over at Johnny's place
   C                                             Eb
   Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
   D                           E
   Man we just fell about the place
   A                                      D
   If that chick don't want to know, forget her
   G                        A                        C
   The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
   G                               A                        C
   I said the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town
   G
   The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
   A                                        C

   C                       E
   Down at Dino's bar at grill
   B                                     E
   The drink will flow and blood will spill
   A                                            D
   If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them
   G                         B                         C
   That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
   Eb                                            D
   The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
   E
   It won't be long till summer comes
   A                             D

   The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
   G                               A                        C

Wonderful
Tom :G
G
I close my eyes when I get too sad. 
D
I think thoughts that I know are bad. 
C
Close my eyes and I count to ten. 
D
Hope its over when I open them. 
G
I want the things that I had before,
D
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door. 
C
I wish I could count to ten,
D
make everything be wonderful again. 
G
Hope my Mom and I hope my Dad 
D
figure out why they get so mad. 
C
Hear them scream, hear them fight. 
D
They say bad words that make me want to cry. 
G
I close my eyes when I go to bed 
D
and I dream of adventures that make me smile. 
C
I feel better when I hear them say, 
D5
Everything will be wonderful some day.

Verse
Hey, makes me wonder
why
I just let them slip away
I ‘d trade my family and my friends 
for an endless Happy Hour
I know
sometimes I talk too much
Hey
have a drink with me
and I will tell you what I think
yeah I know I just look like some drunk to you
But I know who I was
and I know who I am
Verse 2
Hey, makes me wonder
How
I just do it every time
yeah push and pulling on your legs they slowly fade away(I think that’s what it says)
I still know who I am
I still know who I am
I still know who I am!
