Note: You can play the intro through the entire song if you want to. 
      Strum the intro with a lot of mutes, almost like your playing a ukulele.      

Chord Diagrams are at the bottom!! 

Also: If played in Half Step Down, all the annoying sharps are gone.

[Verse]

A#m
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 in every beat

A#m
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]

A#m
Chances thrown

F#
Nothing's free

C#
Longing for

G#
Used to be

A#m
Still it's hard

F#
Hard to see

C#
Fragile lives

G#
Shattered dreams


[Intro 2/Verse] x2

A#m
Jenny 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

A#m
Jay committed suicide

F#
Brandon OD'd and died

C#
What the hell is going on?

G#
The cruelest dream: reality


[Chorus]

A#m
Chances thrown

F#
Nothing's free

C#
Longing for

G#
Used to be

A#m
Still it's hard

F#
Hard to see

C#
Fragile lives

G#
Shattered dreams


(Just Play Intro 2/Verse over the solo and hum)


[Chorus]

A#m
Chances thrown

F#
Nothing's free

C#
Longing for

G#
Used to be

A#m
Still it's hard

F#
Hard to see

C#
Fragile lives

G#
Shattered dreams
