Intro
Guitar Solo
C# G#/C A#m F# x2
[Verse 1]
C#
It's nice and quiet over
D#m
suburbs of North Jersey
F#
Every night my friends
and me would skate
C#
through Nichols Park
C#
Never hurt no one just
D#m
sat around and laughed
F#
about the times that past
G#
Same old story in any town
the times they go so fast
[Chorus 1]
A#m
The title to the world just
F#
can't replace the smile on
G#
my face When I know that
C# G#/C
I'm coming back home to
A#m
this place People in this
F#
town seem so much meaner
G#
It used to be much cleaner
Make sure you know that the
A#m
grass is always greener

C#
Weekdays always came and
D#m
went I felt so robbed
F#
Never seems to stop full
C#
time classes and two jobs

On Friday night we'd hop
D#m
the path to New York City
F#
We'd end up getting shitty
most of which is
G#
still a blur to me
[Chorus 2]

The title to the world just
