[Verse 1]
D
There's a boy across the street
D
He's just trying to find his way
D
Coming over to my house
D
I see him every day
D
His mum and dad are busy
D
They never have the time
D
To listen to his feelings
D
What's playing on his mind
[Chorus]
G A
All the children stand like statues
D Bm
On the street where I was born
G A
It's a street where nothing changes
D Bm
But the road where I come from
G A
Now the cherry blossom's falling
F#m Bm
And the nights are drawing in
G A
Oh, I'm standing here, I'm frozen
F#m G D
As the world goes 'round again
[Verse 2]
D
The playground bell keeps ringing
D
A moving van appears
D
A change about to happen
D
That we haven't seen for years
D
A family's moving in
D
I never thought I'd see
D
On the street where nothing changes
D
A girl that looks like me
D
I watch her from across the street
D
I don't know what to say
D
Time will tell if we'll be friends
D
But that's another day
[Chorus]
G A
All the children stand like statues
F#m Bm
On the street where I was born
G A
It's the street where nothing changes
[Bridge]
Em A D G
Don't change nothing at all
Em
A D G N.C.
Street lights lead me back home
D G Am
I dreaming?
D G
Is it morning?
D G Am
I still here?
D G
N.C.
Am
I gone?
[out-Chorus 2x]
[Próxima Parte]
F#m G D
And we all go 'round again
