Verse 1:
G7G7 (omit 3)
 Behind the wheel of a yellow cab
C7C7
 On the outskirts of Birmingham
G7G7
 He dreams of a traffic jam
   C7C7
In Manhattan
G7G7
 Below the city in a subway car
C7C7
 She feels just like a shooting star
G7G7
 Never thought she could get so far
  C7C7
From her old man

Chorus:
G7G7
 The last phonebooth in New York City
  C7C7
Ringing all day, calling somebody home
G7G7
 She doesn't answer, she walks faster
C7C7                 G7G7
  She won't be going back to Alabaster She won't be going back
C7C7
 She won't be going back to Alabaster


Verse 2:
G7G7
 Thousand miles away, she still feels it
C7C7
 Scrape of his chin, bruise on her spirit
G7G7
 Phone is calling but she won't get near it
C7C7
 Ever again
G7G7
 Steps on the gas just to harness the anger
C7C7
 Last thing he do is try to understand her
G7G7
 Stuck in time like a fly in the amber
C7C7
 And he never transcends

Chorus:
G7G7
 The last phonebooth in New York City
  C7C7
Ringing all day, calling somebody home
G7G7
 She doesn't answer, she walks faster
C7C7                 G7G7
  She won't be going back to Alabaster She won't be going back (yeah)
C7C7
 She won't be going back to Alabaster

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)
