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

Weekdays always came and
A#m
went I felt so robbed

Never seems to stop full

the path to New York City

We'd end up getting shitty
most of which is
D#
still a blur to me
