We need to practice, take my city's back streets
        D                  G           D
There's plenty to see only if you care
  D
Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king
  G                      riff
Behind the checks cashed here


[Verse 2]
          D
If you're hungry you're in luck since the border's wide open
          D                         G            D
If you're tired there's a park only if you dare
  D
Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king
   G                     riff
Behind the checks cashed here


[Chorus]
A                                   G                    D
  Your declining neighborhood looks beautiful the way it should
A                                                  G
  Wouldn't change it at all, wouldn't make it look new , Oh...

There's the LDS church built in 1927
D                           G                 D
I once knew someone who was banned from there
  D
Behind the thrifts and the shadeless day labour
   G                          riff
Behind the checks cashed here


[Verse 4]
   D
So come along with me 'cause you'll miss it on your own
   D                       G          D
Graffiti art competes with muralists
   D
Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king
      G                        C      G        riff
Where everything's ninety-nine cent  ,   Hey!


[Chorus]
A                                   G             D
  Your declining neighborhood looks beautiful the way it should
A                                                     G
  Wouldn't change you at all, wouldn't make you brand new
A                                       G                  D
  The metal cross on the wooden door protects the home not me anymore
A                                   G
  I always look to see if it's been moved
A
  Your declining neighborhood
A
  Your declining neighbor...

  Don't forget it, but don't relive it
D                                           A
  Don't get sucked back pulling out of this town
D                                   A
  There are places I won't revisit
D                                               A

  Don't resist it, don't resent it
A
  Don't remember, don't forget it
D                                            A
  There are places that are fine without me around

And round and round and round (Woo!)
