[Verse 1]
Digging for gold in my neighborhood
Eb Where all the old buildings stood
Bb And they keep digging it down and down
F So that their cars can live underground
The swinging of a wrecking ball
Eb Through these lathe and plaster walls
Bb Is letting all the shadows free
F The ones I wished still followed me
[Chorus]
F Followed me, followed me
Bb F Followed me, followed me Bb F
[Verse 2]
F I remember a winter's nightEb we kissed beneath the street lamp light
Bb Outside our bar near the record store
F That have been condos for a year or more
And now that our haunts have taken flight
Eb And been replaced with construction sites
Bb Oh, how I feel like a stranger here
F Searching for something that's disappeared
Digging for gold in my neighborhood
Eb For what they say is the greater good
Bb But all I see is a long goodbye
F A requiem for a skyline
It seems I never stop losing you
Eb As every dive becomes something new
Bb And all our ghosts get swept away
F It didn't used to be this way
[Chorus]
F Be this way, be this way
Bb F Be this way, be this way
Bb F Be this way, be this way
Bb F Be this way, be this way Bb F
[Interlude]
Bb I've ascribed these monuments
F A false sense of permanence
Bb I've placed faith in geography
F To hold you in my memory
Bb I'm sifting through these wreckage piles
F Through the rubble of bricks and wired
C Looking for something I'll never find
Looking for something I'll never find
[Verse 3]
F Digging for gold in my neighborhood
Eb Where all the old buildings stood
Bb And they keep digging it down and down
F So that their cars can live underground
It seems I never stop losing you
Eb As every dive becomes something new
Bb And all our ghosts get swept away
F It didn't used to be this way
It didn't used to be this way
Eb It didn't used to be this way
