[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]

[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
