[Verse 1]
I've Gsat and watched this D/F#city crumEmble,

Well I'm just Cscared of losing D/F#all that we have Gleft.
[Chorus]
And the Ccolors of these D/F#roads are matching the Emrainy sky.
We're too Cblind to see what's D/F#really here in Emfront of our Deyes.
And I Chope someday D/F#this will all reEmverse,
And send us Cback to the D/F#times beEmfore.
Before we grew Cup and lost the Dnovelty of,
GClear blue G/F#skies Emand climbing trees.
Can't you Csee what our D/F#lies have come to Embe?
Can't you Csee what our D/F#lies have come to Gbe?

We Gused to just make D/F#friends so easilEmy,

Our Cparents were always D/F#heroes in our Emeyes,
But CTV and D/F#magazines soon Emchanged our minds.G  
[Chorus]
The Ccolors of these D/F#roads are matching the Emrainy sky.
We're too Cblind to see what's D/F#really here in Emfront of our Deyes.
And I Chope someday D/F#this will all reEmverse,
And send us Cback to the D/F#times beEmfore.
Before we grew Cup and lost the Dnovelty of,
GClear blue G/F#skies Emand climbing trees.
Can't you Csee what our D/F#lies have come to Embe?
Can't you Csee what our D/F#lies have come to Cbe?
