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

Weekdays always came and
F#m
went I felt so robbed
A
Never seems to stop full
E

the path to New York City
A
We'd end up getting shitty
most of which is
B
still a blur to me
[Chorus 2]
