Bb7                                  Gb    
When we were young the future was so bright
                            Db   
The old neighborhood was so alive
                                Db    
And every kid on the whole damn street
Ab                               Bb  
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
                                   Gb  
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
                                          Db  
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
                   Ab                          
How can one little street swallow so many lives


[Chorus]
Bb                           
Chances thrown nothing's free
Db               Ab        
Longing for what used to be
Bb                   Gb    
Still it's hard hard to see
Db            Ab                 
Fragile lives shattered dreams go

Bb                                    
Jamie had a chance well she really did
Gb                                              
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Db                                          Ab 
Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job
                                      Bb 
Just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
              Gb     
Jay committed suicide
                 Db  
Brandon OD'd and died
     Db                  
What the hell is going on
Ab                        
The cruelest dream reality


[Chorus]
Bb                           
Chances thrown nothing's free
Db               Ab        
Longing for what used to be
Bb                   Gb    
Still it's hard hard to see
Db            Ab                 
Fragile lives shattered dreams go

Bb              Gb         
Still it's hard hard to see
Db            Ab        Bb    
Fragile lives shattered dreams
