EmC When we were young the future was so bright (Woah-oh!) G The old neighborhood was so alive (Woah-oh!) D And every kid on the whole damn street (Woah-oh!)
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
EmC Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn (Woah-oh!) G The kids are grown up but their lives are worn (Woah-oh!) D How can one little street
Swallow so many lives
[Chorus]
Em Chances thrown C Nothing's free GD Longing for what used to be Em Still it's hard C Hard to see GD Fragile lives, shattered dreams
[Verse]
Em Jamie had a chance, well she really did (Woah-oh!) C Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids (Woah-oh!) G Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job D Just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
EmC Jay committed suicide (Woah-oh!)
Brandon OD'd and died (Woah-oh!) G What the hell is going on D cruelest dream, reality
[Chorus]
Em Chances thrown C Nothing's free GD Longing for what used to be Em Still it's hard C Hard to see GD Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Em Chances thrown C Nothing's free GD Longing for what used to be Em Still it's hard C Hard to see GD Fragile lives, shattered dreams
