           C#               F# 
When I was younger I chased butterflies 
      D     C#           B 
now I look around and realize 
A              G                  D 
there ain't no butterflies around here no more. 

Now theres more people everywhere, 
and on ground that once was bare 
they've built condos and shopping malls. 

       E               F# 
and on streets I walked where the sun shined 
        D 
shadows grow as buildings climb, 
          A             G            B     C# D 
and I get older getting colder every day. 

The concrete stretches for miles 
They put it up in different styles, 
but it still looks pretty ugly to me....

What a Pity, They've fucked up this city 
where I grew up. 
Now it's grown too big and there's no room left for me.
