[Verse]
AmWhen we were young, the future was so bright, whoa
FThe old neighborhood was so alive, whoa
CAnd every kid on the whole damn street, whoa
GWas gonna make it big and not be beat
AmNow, the neighborhoods cracked and torn, whoa
FThe kids are grown up, but their lives are worn, whoa
CHow can one little street
GSwallow so many lives
[Chorus]
AmChances thrown,
FNothings free
CLonging for
GWhat used to be
AmStill, it's hard
FHard to see
CFragile lives
GShattered dreams

[Verse]
AmJamie had a chance, well, she really did, whoa
FInstead, she dropped out and had a couple of kids, whoa
CMark still lives at home cause he's got no job, whoa
GHe just plays guitar and smokes a lotta pot
AmJay committed suicide, whoa
FBrandon O. D. 'd and died, whoa
CWhat the hell is going on
GThe cruelest dream, reality
[Chorus]
AmChances thrown,
FNothings free
CLonging for
GWhat used to be
AmStill, it's hard
FHard to see
CFragile lives
GShattered dreams
Go!
