Now the houses are ghost over Silver Street

Married couples slamming doors, bums praising the lord

And you're playing tapes for the town

Now the neighborhood mixed and your college friends

You bought some brown wire frames at a joke shop

Dm		F/C		G/B       G 
That was your trademark in school

Now they're barely hanging on

Am		Dm7
And the styles are moving on

It's hard for a man to stay cool

So the seasons change and the storefronts change

Dm		F/C		G/B       G
While everything else stays the same

But now we spend the day so completely uninspired

Gm7		(C13)
Asking why oh why would I be tired

F	Dm7		Am7
They're filling the pot holes in on Silver Street

Dm		F/C		G/B       G
They're waking the neighbors up at noon

Gm7
Now you're friends are out on break

Am			Dm7
And you're out on your brown lawn

Gm		Eb	F
Raking the dirt with a broom

Am			Aaug
Well the seasons change and the storefronts change

When everything else stays the same
