[Verse 1]
[Am]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
[Am]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?

[Chorus 1]
Chances [Am]thrown
Nothing's [F]free
Longing [C]for
Used to [G]be
Still it's [Am]hard
Hard to [F]see
Fragile [C]lives
Shattered [G]dreams

In[F]stead she dropped out

[C]Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job
[G]Just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
[Am]Jay committed suicide
[F]Brandon OD'd and died
[C]What the hell is going on?
The [G]cruelest dream, reality

[Chorus 2]
Chances [Am]thrown
