G7 C7 G7 C7
[Verse 1]
G7 (omit 3)
Behind the wheel of a yellow cab
C7
On the outskirts of Birmingham
G7
He dreams of a traffic jam
C7
In Manhattan
G7
Below the city in a subway car
C7
She feels just like a shooting star
G7
Never thought she could get so far
C7
From her old man
[Chorus]
G7
The last phonebooth in New York City
C7
Ringing all day, calling somebody home
G7
She doesn't answer, she walks faster
C7 G7
She won't be going back to Alabaster She won't be going back
C7
She won't be going back to Alabaster
[Verse 2]
G7
Thousand miles away, she still feels it
C7
Scrape of his chin, bruise on her spirit
G7
Phone is calling but she won't get near it
C7
Ever again
G7
Steps on the gas just to harness the anger
C7
Last thing he do is try to understand her
G7
Stuck in time like a fly in the amber
C7
And he never transcends
[Chorus]
G7
The last phonebooth in New York City
C7
Ringing all day, calling somebody home
G7
She doesn't answer, she walks faster
C7 G7
She won't be going back to Alabaster She won't be going back (yeah)
C7
She won't be going back to Alabaster
[Solo]
G7 C7 x3
G7
[Verse 3]
N.C.
Time passes, distance grows wider
N.C.
Dark features brighter and brighter
N.C.
She's got a new heart beating inside her
N.C.
And she's her own master
N.C.
She won't be going back (she's her own master)
N.C.
She won't be going back (she's her own master)
[Chorus]
G7
The last phonebooth in New York City
C7
Ringing all day, calling somebody home
G7 C7
She doesn't answer, she walks faster
G7
The last phonebooth in New York City
C7
Ringing all day, calling somebody home
G7
She doesn't answer, she walks faster
C7 G7
She won't be going back to Alabaster She won't be going back
C7 G7
She won't be going back to Alabaster She won't be going back
C7 G7
She won't be going back to Alabaster She wont' be going back
C7 G7
She won't be going back to Alabaster She wont' be going back
