[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][G][A][D][Bm][G][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
My best [D]friend
lived in [Bm]this house
And [D]we played [G]ball in the street
after [A]school[D]
God knows how he's living [Bm]now
I head [D]his [G]mom lost the house
and had to [A]move[D]
And sure, it's looking better these [Bm]days
[D]Well [G]it's hard to believe
[A]And[D] this ain't the way
it [Bm]was back [D]in 1[G]993

[Verse 2]
[G]And [A]tho[G]se weren'[D]t better days[A]
[D]But they still meant something [Bm]mean
[G]When we was kids [D]out [A]in the
[D]streets

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][G][A][D]

[Verse 3]
Now there was a mar[Bm]ket on the corner,
it [G]was next to the car [A]wash
[D]And lazy weeping wil[Bm] low across
the [G]street in [A]the light
[D]Where the old men played [Bm]dom inoes
on [G]those hot summer [A]days
Sweatin' the [D]Wild Irish [Bm]Rose
[G]out in the [A]shade
And from [D]Wedgewood
[Bm]to Granny White
[G]Oh, and, Belmont [A]to 8th
All these [D]songs was [A]broke into [Bm]a
host of [G]sights and [A]shapes

[Verse 4]
And that [G]was lower- end [A]livin'
[D]Back when life [Bm]was cheap
[G]When we was kid[A]s out in the street
[D]s

[Interlude 2]
[A][Bm][G][A][D][A][Bm][G][A]
[Bm]

[Verse 5]
Now it's [D]gone,
blown [G]on a lonely [A]wind [D]of change[Bm]
Now I [D]feel like I mis[G]s it most
Just 'cause [Em]I never [G]thought
that it could [A]change[D]
So I hear things are moving [Bm]west
these [G]days[D][A][F#m]
[D]Same old cut and past[Bm]ing,
[D]just [G]filling the [A]blanks
[D]Standing [A]here right now,
[Bm]though it brin[G]gs a lot of pain[A]
I [G]smile when [A]I think, yesterday
[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Back when life was [A]something
[D]Like [A]1, [Bm]2, 3[G]
When we was [A]kids out in

[Outro 1]
the streets
[D][Em][G][A]
