Bb5
When we were young the future was so bright      (whoo ooh)
F#5
The old neighborhood was so alive                (whoo ooh)
C#5
And every kid on the whole damn street           (whoo ooh)
G#5
Was gonna make it big and not be beat         

Bb5
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn          (whoo ooh)
F#5
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn   (whoo ooh)
C#5
How can one little street                        (whoo ooh)
G#5
Swallow so many lives__

[Chorus]

Chances thrown____ Nothing's free___ Longing for____ what used to be___

Still it's hard___ Hard to see____   Fragile lives____, shattered dreams___
