[Verse 1]
C G C*
Long ago, but not so very long ago,
F G C*
the world was different, oh, yes, it was.
C G Am Am
You settled down and you built a town and made it live,
G Fmaj7 G C F/C G/C F/C
and you watched it grow, it was your town.

[Verse 2]
C G Am Am
Time goes by, time brings changes, you change too,
F G C*
nothing comes that you can’t handle, so on you go.
C G/B Am C7 F
You never see it coming when the world caves in on you,
Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G F/A G/B
on your town, there’s nothing you can do.

[Chorus]
C F C C
Main street isn’t main street anymore,
C F G F/A G/B
lights don’t shine as brightly as they shone before.
Am C7 F Fm
Tell the truth, lights don’t shine at all
Fmaj7 G C F/C G/C F/C
in our town.

[Verse 3]
C G C*
Sun comes up each morning, just like it’s always done.
F G C*
Get up, go to work, start the day.
C G/B Am C7 F
You open up for business that’s never gonna come
Dm C/E F G F/A G/B
as the world rolls by a million miles away.

[End-Chorus]
C F C C
Main street isn’t main street anymore,
C F G F/A G/B
no one seems to need us like they did before.
Am C7 F Fm
It’s hard to find a reason left to stay,
Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G
but it’s our town, love it anyway.
Dm C/E F G C
Come what may, it’s our town.
