[Verse 2]
[Am]Mama, you tell me [Bm]how's the [G]family
And [D]papa, [Am]tell me how
thing's going [Bm]by y[G]ou
And [Am]little baby sister,
I heard that [G]you got [Bsus4]married
[Am]And I [C]heard that you h[Am]ad yourself a little baby g[G]irl,
[Am]too[D]
And [Am]here's some uncles and
some cousins [G]I know vaguely
And [Am]would you [D]believe my [C]old
dog chelsea's [Am]here, [G]too
And [Am]would you believe [C]nobody
in this [Am]fam [C]ily
Wanted [G]to keep her
And [Am]now that d[C]og's more
of a part [D]of this [Am]family
Then I am, [G]too[Am]
I [D]don't [Am]come home much [G]anymore
[Am]No- no- no I[C] d[Am]on't come
[Bm]home much [G]anymore
[Am]Mama

[Verse 3]
And [Am]mama, I know how dis[Bsus4]ap
[Bm]poin[G]ted you are
[Am]And papa, I [C]know that you
feel the same way, [G]too
And [Bm]no- [Am]no- no- n[C]o- n[D]o I still
[Am]have[C]n't got married[G]
And [Am]no- no- no there's no
grandson [Bsus4]planned here for y[G]ou
[Em]And by t[Am]he way,
daddy tell me how's [D]the busi[Bm]ness
[G]I und[Am]erstand that your sto[D]ck she's
[Am]grow[D]ing very h[G]igh
[Am]No, [C]daddy,
you're not a poor [Am]man [Bm]any m[G]ore
And I [Am]hope [C]you'll [Am]realize
that before you [G]die
Because [Am]I don't co[D]me
home [Am]much [G]anymore
No- [Am]no- no- no- no I don't come
home much no [G]more

[Interlude 2]
But daddy
[Am][D][C][Am][G][Bm][G][Am][G]
[Am]And please-

[Verse 4]
please-
[C]please- please- please
[Am]Come on let's not [C]start
this [G]business again
[Am]I know how much you
resent [C]the life that I [G]have
But [Am]one more time,
[C]I don[Am]'t wan[D]t the family bus[G]iness
Don't [Am]want [C]to inherit [Am]it upon
the day that you [G]die
[C]Really, [Am]daddy [D]should have given
[Am]it to my s[G]ister
You know [C]elisabeth,
you know [Am]elisabeth
She has [C]a better h[Am]ead for
[G]those things than [Am]I
She [C]lives practically around [G]the corner
[Am]That[C]'s really the kind of chil[D]d
[C]you could [Am]be proud o[G]f
But [C]papa, I know that this
[Am]visit's a [G]mistake
There's [Am]nothing [C]here we have [Am]in common,
except [D]our [G]name[Am]
And families that [C]live out in [Am]the sub[G]urbs
[C]Often make [D]each [Am]other [G]cry
[Bm]And I do[Am]n't t[C]hink t[Am]hat I'll[D]
come [C]home much any[G]more
[Am]No- no, I don't think I'll
come home much [G]again
[Am]Mama[C][Am][G]
[Am]Papa[C][Am][G]
[Am]Families
Often make each other [G]cry[Am]
No, [C]I don't think that I'll come home
much any[G]more
