Verse
[D] [G] [D]
Well, these empty church pews are a sign of the times
[D] [G] [D]
Every third house got a "for sale" sign
[D] [G] [Bm]
In a town where you're born and you work and you die
[D] [G] [D]
Full of people I've known most all of my life
[D] [G] [D]
Old Hank's Place had the best burgers in town
[D] [G] [D]
'Til the damn pandemic shut the whole thing down
[D] [G] [Bm]
Another truck loaded up and they're saying goodbye
[D] [G] [D]
Full of people I've known most all of my life
Chorus
[A] [G] [D]
All of my life, I've watched the whole world change
[A] [G] [D]
Right in front of my eyes, watched it all go up in flames
[Bm] [D]
When did I go from neighbor
[Em] [D] [G]
To a stranger in the eyes
[G] [D] [G] [D]
Of the people I've known most all of my life?
Verse
[D] [G] [D]
I've known Jeanie and Betty since junior high
[D] [G] [D]
I consider them both good friends of mine
[D] [G] [Bm]
Them loving each other never changed my mind
[D] [G] [D]
Just people I've known most all of my life
[D] [G] [D]
But the world went left and the world went right
[D] [G] [D]
Jeanie and Betty made me take a side
[D] [G] [Bm]
They stopped saying hello when I said hi
[D] [G] [D]
To the people I've known most all of my life
Chorus
[A] [G] [D]
All of my life, I've watched this whole world change
[A] [G] [D]
Right in front of my eyes, I watched it all go up in flames

When did I go from neighbor
[Em] [D] [G]
To a stranger in the eyes
[G] [D] [D]
Of the people I've known most all of my life?

Bridge
[D] [G] [D]
Now they're protest marching on the courthouse square
[D] [G] [D]
Spitting on a vet sitting in a wheelchair
[D] [G] [Bm]
The boys they arrested for defending his rights
[D] [G] [D]
Were people I've known most all of my life
Chorus
[A] [G] [D]
All of my life, I've watched this whole world change
[A] [G] [D]
Right in front of my eyes, I watched it all go up in flames

[Em] [D] [G]
To a stranger in the eyes

Of the people I've known most all of my life?
