[Verse 1]
Em                         D
I was around when there wasnt houses there.
Am
I heard the sound when they cleared the land right there.
Em                         D
I saw the sunrise, before the town was there.
Am
I saw the city man put in the parking square
C                                    G
Ive seen a lot of change in my 20 years.
Bm
And in 20 more, Ill see my biggest fears
C                           G                         Bm
Go up in concrete, Its not a pretty site. Its not a pretty site.

[Verse 2]
Em                                   D
In between my classes or after a day at work
Am
I throw my board in, and go and check the Surf.
Em                                  D
It makes me mad when I cant find a parkin place
Am
I get a ticket for bein in a metered space
C                            G
It seems to me the times have changed or
Bm
Is that just something old people say?
C                                    G
Well I must be getting old these days
Bm
Cuz I am beginning to notice the change.
C                             G
This cant continue, dont you know.
Bm
Lets give our children room to grow.
C                             G
This cant continue, dont you know.
Bm
Lets give our children room to grow.
