[Verse 1]
 
Am
When we were young the future was so bright (Whoa)
F
The old neighborhood was so alive (Whoa)
C
And every kid on the whole damn street (Whoa)
G
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Am
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn (Whoa)
F
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn (Whoa)
C
How can one little street
G
Swallow so many lives?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        Am Am7 A5
Chances thrown,
          F
Nothing's free
         C5 Csus4 C
Longing for
             G
what used to be
           Am Am7 A5
Still it's hard,
         F
Hard to see
        C5 Csus4 C
Fragile lives,
           G
shattered dreams (Go!)
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am
Jamie had a chance, well she really did (Whoa)
F
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids (Whoa)
C
Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job (Whoa)
G
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Am
Jay committed suicide (Whoa)
F
Brandon OD'd and died (Whoa)
C
What the hell is going on?
G
The cruelest dream, reality
