Hello, I've been playing for years but just now I am making a strong effort to understand the theory behind the playing?  What key is Pink Houses by John Mellencamp in? I would initially think that it is in G Maj since that is where it starts and resolves to but the F does not fit.  For G Maj shouldn’t it have F# instead of F?   My 2nds guess would be C or Am since it has all the chords from that key but it never really resolves to a C chord and the Am chord is not even in the song.

Thanks for looking and hopefully not laughing! :-)
