when Fwe were winningC  G  Am  F  
oh Cwild was the world, and Gwild we burned
we were Dmkings of the streets, not yet Fbeaten by defeats
but Cnow it's hard to see, through a Gfog of memories
but DmI remember, when Fwe were winningC  G  Am  F  
now my Cfriends are unemployed, not nGeeded in this world
pushed Dmdown by this town and aFlways turned down
but Cin dreams at night, they can sGometimes recall
when Dmwe were heroes, when Fwe were winningC  G  Am  F  
Amwhat have we Gdone to our Flives? Amwe could've bGeen anytFhing
                       Am                   GFCG  ( C   G   Am   F2x)
we gave it our love for what? this is the time
oh it's Cin the air at night there's a wGind coming in

there's something hCappening somewhere
I take the Gbus in to town, all I Dmsee is laughing
and Fwe are winningC  G  Am  F

befCore tonight's the mGemory let's go Dmout
