Am                                
When we were young the future was 
          F
so bright
                                  C
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn 
      G
street

Was gonna make it big and not be 
beat

Am                                
Now the neighborhood's cracked and
     F
 torn
The kids are grown up but their 
                C
lives are worn
                          G
How can one little street

Swallow so many lives

[Estribillo]

        Am
Chances thrown
        F
Nothing's free
        C                G
Longing for what used to be

Still it's hard
        F
Hard to see
        C.               G
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Jamie had a chance, well she 
      F
really did
Instead she dropped out and had a 
                C
couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's 
          G
got no job

He just plays guitar and smokes a 
lot of pot

Am                    F
Jay committed suicide
                      C
Brandon OD'd and died
                          G
What the hell is going on

The cruelest dream, reality
        Am
Chances thrown
        F
Nothing's free
        C                G
Longing for what used to be
           Am
Still it's hard
        F
Hard to see
        C                G
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
