A signal of the times, a turning of the page

There used to be nothing here, but that nothing disappeared

Fast food, four lanes, and a subdivided neighborhood
[Chorus]
G                 D                Em
The walls of the world are closin' in

                Bm              C
The spreadin' city spreads us thin

              G                C                Em   D
Till we can't seem to make our ends meet in the black

G                    D               Em
I never would've thought it wouldn't last

          Bm                    C
A way of life that time moved past

Maybe I'm a sucker for knowing who lives next door

            Em        D      C                  Em  D G
A view from my back porch, a pinch of peace and quiet

                      D       C                        Em    D
I can't get back the used to be's, so I hang on to the memories

                           Em      D      C                       Em    D
Of when I could still look up and see the stars not street lights shining
[Chorus]
G                 D                Em
The walls of the world are closin' in

               Bm              C
The spreadin' city spreads us thin

              G                C                Em   D
Till we can't seem to make our ends meet in the black

What I wouldn't give to have... the back forty back
[Instrumental] G D C Em D Em D C G Am7 D G [Post-Chorus]
G                 D               Em
Now, I get that progress has its place

         Bm                 C
And no regard for what it takes

              G                  C               Em   D
Wish it would slow its pace, and cut us all some slack

G                 D              Em
'Cause it's all changing way too fast

           Bm                  C
A way of life that time moved past

       G                C                Em  D G
What I wouldn't give to have... the back forty back
[Outro] G D C Em D Em D C C D G
