The Kids Aren

(P.m.)
Bbm
When we were young the future was so bright
F#
The old neighborhood was so alive
C#
And every kid on the whole damn street
G#
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
  
(P.m.)     
Bbm
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
F#
The kids are grown up, but their lives are worn
C#
How can one little street
G#
Swallow so many lives

Bbm
Chances thrown, nothing's free
F#
Longing for what used to be
C#
Still it's hard, hard to see
G#
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Bbm
Jamie had a chance, well she really did
F#
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
C#
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
G#
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Bbm
Jay committed suicide
F#
Brandon OD'd and died
C#
What the hell is going on?
G#
The cruelest dream, reality

Bbm
Chances thrown, nothing's free
F#
Longing for what used to be
C#
Still it's hard, hard to see
G#
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
  
Bbm                                                 
Chances thrown, nothing's free
F#
Longing for what used to be
C#
Still it's hard, hard to see
G#
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
