[Verse 1]
G Em
My best friend lived in this house
Am D/F#
And we played ball in the street after school
G Em
God knows how he's living now
C D/F#
I heard his mom lost the house and had to move
G Em
And sure, it's looking better these days
Am D/F#
Well it's hard to believe
G Em C D/F#
And this ain't the way it was back in 1993
[Chorus]
C D/F#
And those weren't better days
G Em
But they still meant something to me
C D/F# G
When we was kids out in the streets
[Interlude]
G2 G C D
[Verse 2]
G G/F# Em C D/F#
Now there was a market on the corner, it was next to the car wash
G G/F# Em C D
And lazy weeping willow across the street in the light
G G/F# Em C D/F#
Where the old men played dominoes on those hot summer days
G G/F# Em C D/F#
Sweatin' the Wild Irish Rose out in the shade
G G/F# Em C D/F#
And from Wedgewood to Granny White oh, and, Belmont to 8th
G G/F# Em C D/F#
All these songs was broke into a host of sights and shapes
[Chorus]
C D/F#
And that was lower-end livin'
G G/F# Em
Back when life was cheap
C D/F# G
When we was kids out in the streets
[Instrumental]
G G/F# Em C D
G G/F# Em C D
[Verse 3]
Em G C D/F# G/B G
Now it's gone, blown on a lonely wind of change
Em G C Cmaj7
Now I feel like I miss it most
Am C D D/F#
Just 'cause I never thought that it could change
G Em C D/F#
So I hear things are moving west these days
G Em C D/F#
Same old cut and pasting, just filling the blanks
G G/F# Em C D D/F#
Standing here right now, though it brings a lot of pain
C D/F# G Gsus4 G
I smile when I think of yesterday
[Outro]
C D
Back when life was something
G G/F# Em
Like 1, 2, 3
C D/F# G
When we was kids out in the streets
C D/F# G
