[D] Long ago, [A] but not so [D] very long ago,
[G] the world [A] was different, oh [D] yes it was.
You settled down [A] and you built a town [Bm] and made it live, and you watched it [A] grow.
It [G] was your [A] town.

[G] [E] [A]
[D] Time goes by [A] and time brings changes [Bm] and you change too.
[G] Nothing comes that [A] you can't handle, [D] so on you go.
You never see it [A] coming [Bm] when the world [A] caves in [G] on you.
On your [A] town,
[G] there's nothing you [A] can do.
[D] Main Street [G] isn't Main Street [D] anymore.
Lights don't [G] shine as brightly [A] as they shone before.
[B] [A]
[Bm] Tell the truth, [D] lights don't shine [G] at all.
In [Gm]
[G] [Bm] our [A] town,
[D] [G]
[D] [G]
[D] sun comes up each [A] morning [D] just like it's always done.
[G] Get up to [A] go to work, they start [D] the [G] day.
[D]
You open up for [A] business,
[Bm] it's never [D] gonna [G] come.
[Em] As the world [D] rolls by [G] a million miles [A] away.
[Bm] [A]
[D] Main Street isn't [G] Main Street
[D] anymore.
No one seems to [N] need us.
