[Bb] We were young, our future was so [Gb] bright.
Your neighborhood was so [Db] alive.
Every kid on the whole damn [Ab] street
was gonna make it big and not be [Bb] weak.
Now the neighborhood's cracked and [Gb] torn.
The kids are caught up on the lies of [Db] war.
Have been one little [Ab] street,
swallowed too many lies.
[Bb] Chances are [Gb] nothing's free.
[Db] Longing for [Ab] what used to be.

[Bb] Jimmy had a chance, well she really [Gb] did.
Since she dropped out and had a couple of [Dbm] kids.
Works to lose at home cause he's got no [Ab] job.
She's playing guitar and smokes a lot of [Bb] pot.
The chicken man is through with [Gb] life.
His friend in Odina [Db] died.
What the hell is going [Ab] on?
Cruel and extreme reality.
[Bb] Chances are [Gb] nothing's free.
[Db] Longing for [Ab] what used to be.
[Bb] Still ain't hard, [Gb] hard to see.
[Db] Grab your life, [Ab] share the dreams.
