The Kids Aren't Alright
The Offspring

Am – F – C – G (x3)

Am
  When we were young the future was so bright
F
  The old neighborhood was so alive
C
  And every kid on the whole damn street
G
  Was gonna make it big and not be beat 

Am
  Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
F
  The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
C
How can one little street
G
Swallow so many lives 

CHORUS
        Am                F
Chances thrown, nothing's free
        C                G
Longing for what used to be
           Am           F
Still it's hard, hard to see
        C                G
Fragile lives, shattered dreams 

Am
Jamie had a chance, well she really did
F
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
C
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
G
  He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot 

Am
  Jay committed suicide
F
  Brandon OD'd and died
C
What the hell is going on
    G
The cruelest dream, reality

CHORUS
