Misc Your Songs - Thumbless hitchhikers - window sill

^AShuffling slowly d^Eown the street,^D shiny concrete ^Eat my feet ^ALittle houses that all l^Eook the same,^D set inside the p^Eicturesque frame Of an ^Ainstant, overnight n^Eeighborhood where the b^Dugs don't bite and the l^Eawns look good

G^Aet home and cl^Eimb the stairs,^D think about whens, wh^Eys and wheres But it's h^Aappening right h^Eere and now, l^Dook out my window and w^Eonder how T^Aime passed so qu^Eickly by,^D used to think I could t^Eouch 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

CHORUS: ^D Engulfed by the r^Eising tide,^A how can we just st^Dand as^Eide? They got b^Dig plans f^Eor a small town,^A where'd we get this t^Dourist cr^Eowd? We got n^Aew faces and ^Dempty spaces to f^Eill A D E | A | D | E | E | I want to know how all of this can be real, starin' out my window sill

^AGrowth has come and m^Eade its mark,^D the new buildings are c^Eold and stark ^AMore people, more cr^Eime, more cars,^D come and leave their ^Eugly scars ^AWhy can't things rem^Eain the same? ^D I want to know wh^Eo to blame ^AI think the culprit m^Eight be found if I l^Dean out my window and l^Eook around A E D E | A | E | D | E | I'll face my deepest fear within: That change came because we let it in

CHORUS: ^D Engulfed by the r^Eising tide,^A how can we just st^Dand as^Eide? They got b^Dig plans f^Eor a small town,^A where'd we get this t^Dourist cr^Eowd? We got n^Aew faces and ^Dempty spaces to f^Eill A D E | A | D | E | E | I want to know how all of this can be real, starin' out my window sill
