[C][G][C][G][Bm]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Kids
are [Bm]scratching [Em]up the walk
[Bm]Across the street and down the block
I [C]wish you'd stuck around to
watch the night [D]fall

[Em]Smack your hands against the wall
[Bm]Louise Bogan and Robert Frost
Popped [C]off the shelf when you went through the [D]door,
[C]singing

[Verse 3]
"Years from [C]today
When your [G]name is [D]just a name
And [C]my love is a couple candles
[G]Twinkling [D]on your cake

[Verse 4]
That [Em]burn won't hurt you any [Bm]more
But I'll [C]still keep your [G]picture [D]lying in a
[C]drawer[D]"

[Bm]Kids [Em]are s[Bm]cratching [Em]up the walk
Four [Bm]letter words in rainbow
colored [C]chalk
Sweep the dust under the [D]rug
Oh [Bm]if on[D]ly we could ta[Bm]lk[C]

[Verse 6]
Years [C]away
When your [G]name is [D]just a name
You'll be [C]counting up your pennies
til I'm [G]laughing in [D]my grave
Oh [Am]I kno[D]w
