INTRO: | A | E | D | E | x 2
A E D E
Shuffling slowly down the street, shiny concrete at my feet
A E D E
Little houses that all look the same, set inside the picturesque frame
A E D E
Of an instant, overnight neighborhood where the bugs don't bite and the lawns look good
INSTRUMENTAL: | A | E | D | E |
A E D E
Get home and climb the stairs, think about whens, whys and wheres
A E D E
But it's happening right here and now, look out my window and wonder how
A E D E
Time passed so quickly by, used to think I could touch the sky
A E D E | A | E | D | E |
When I climbed that oak tree across the way, they just cut it down today
D E A D E
CHORUS: Engulfed by the rising tide, how can we just stand aside?
D E A D E
They got big plans for a small town, where'd we get this tourist crowd?
A D E
We got new faces and empty spaces to fill
A D E | A | D | E | E |
I want to know how all of this can be real, starin' out my window sill
A E D E
Growth has come and made its mark, the new buildings are cold and stark
A E D E
More people, more crime, more cars, come and leave their ugly scars
A E D E
Why can't things remain the same? I want to know who to blame
A E D E
I think the culprit might be found if I lean out my window and look around
A E D E | A | E | D | E |
I'll face my deepest fear within: That change came because we let it in
D E A D E
CHORUS: Engulfed by the rising tide, how can we just stand aside?
D E A D E
They got big plans for a small town, where'd we get this tourist crowd?
A D E
We got new faces and empty spaces to fill
A D E | A | D | E | E |
I want to know how all of this can be real, starin' out my window sill
