ATTENTION 1: C* means C C C F/C C (C) (C) (C) (with Capo II)
ATTENTION 2: I think the Fm/D in Intro is in fact Dm7-5/Ab but on guitar is sounds the same, therefore.
[Intro] | C* | | C* | | | G | G | C | C | | C* | | C* | | | Fm/D | G | | C | F/C | G/C | F/C | [Verse 1]
C           G                 C*
  Long ago,   but not so very long ago,

F               G                   C*
  the world was different, oh, yes, it was.

C                          G                  Am           Am
  You settled down and you   built a town and made it live,

                   G            Fmaj7 G    C     F/C     G/C F/C
and you watched it grow, it was your  town.
[Verse 2]
C               G                    Am             Am
  Time goes by, time brings changes, you change too,

F                    G                    C*
  nothing comes that you can't handle, so on you go.

C                  G/B             Am          C7    F
  You never see it coming when the world caves in on you,

   Fmaj7      G Fmaj7                     G      F/A   G/B
on your town,     there's nothing you can do.
[Chorus]
C                   F              C            C
  Main street isn't main street anymore,

C                       F                G            F/A G/B
  lights don't shine as brightly as they shone before.

Am                C7                    F          Fm
  Tell the truth, lights don't shine at all

   Fmaj7 G            C     F/C      G/C F/C
in our   town.
[Verse 3]
C                   G                       C*
  Sun comes up each morning, just like it's always done.

F               G               C*
  Get up, go to work, start the day.

C                 G/B      Am           C7    F
  You open up for business that's never gonna come

       Dm          C/E  F              G       F/A  G/B
as the world rolls by a million miles away.
[End-Chorus]
C                   F              C            C
  Main street isn't main street anymore,

C                 F                 G            F/A G/B
  no one seems to need us like they did before.

Am                    C7             F          Fm
  It's hard to find a reason left to stay,

         Fmaj7     G Fmaj7        G
but it's our town,     love it anyway.

Dm   C/E  F         G             C
Come what may, it's our town.
