Lyrics

Long ago, (G)but not so very (C)long ago,

(F)the world was (G)diff'rent,

oh (C)yes, it was.

(C)You settled down and you (G)built a town and (Am)made it there

(Am)and you watched it (G)grow.

It was (C)your town.

(C)Time goes by and (G)time brings changes,

and (Asus)you change too.

(F)Nothing comes that (G)you can't handle,

so (C)on you go.

(C)You never see it coming

when the (C7)world caves in on (F)you,

on (Fmaj9)your town.

There's nothing you can (G)do.

(C)Main Street (Cmaj7)isn't (Fsus2)Main Street (F)(C)anymore.

Lights don't shine (Cmaj7)as (Fsus2)(F)brightly as they've (Gsus)shone (G)before.

(Am)To tell the truth, a (C7)lights don't shine at (F)all

(Fm)but in (Fmaj9)our (G)town.

(C)Sun comes up each (G)morning, just like it's (C)always done.

(Fsus2)Get up (F)and go to (G)work and start the (C)day.

(C)You open up for (G)business;

(C7)it's never gonna (F)come as the (C)world rolls by,

a (F)million miles (G)away.

(Fmaj9)We love it (G)anyway.

(Dm)Come (C)what (G7sus)may,

it's our (C)town.
