When we were young the future was so bright (woh-oh)
F# – C#
The old neighbourhood was so alive (woh-oh)
C# – G#
And every kid on the whole damn street (woh-oh)
Bbm Bbm – F#
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
F# – C#
Now the neighbourhood’s cracked and torn (woh-oh)
C# – G#
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn (woh-oh)
C# – G#
How can one little street swallow so many lives
Припев:
Bbm F#
Chances thrown, nothing’s free
C# G#
Longing for what used to be
Bbm F#
Still it’s hard, hard to see
C# G#
Fragile lives, shattered dreams, wow
Bbm Bbm – F#
Jamie had a chance, well she really did (woh-oh)
F# – C#
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids (woh-oh)
C# – G#
Mark still lives at home ’cause he’s got no job (woh-oh)
Bbm Bbm – F#
Just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
F# – C#
Jay comitted suicide (woh-oh)
C# – G#
Brandon OD’d and died (woh-oh)
C# – G#
What the hell is going on, the cruelest dream, reality
Припев:
Bbm F#
Chances thrown, nothing’s free
C# G#
Longing for what used to be
Bbm F#
Still it’s hard, hard to see
C# G#
Fragile lives, shattered dreams, wow
