[Verse 1]
A C D7
Oranges are not for sale at any store, for several blocks around
A
A part of town where fruit just brings in flies
A C D7
Corner building used to be something else and now it's finally sold
A
Then it's eight stories high in two years' time
A C D7
Laundry folded in a bag underneath the chart of price per pound
A
Quarter machine out of order sign open on holidays
[Chorus]
E7 G
There used to be a corner with a mural of folks that you would see walking around
E7 G
There used to be a shop where a guy could fix anything that had broke down
E7 G
There used to be a man who I'd see around and he used to be my pal
D C
But I just heard the news that David's dead
(G)
Still trying to wrap my head around

[Verse 2]
A C D7
I have paid rent to the same lord of land for ten plus years
A
And now I'm tired as hell of living life this way
A C D7
Faces in the hallway change and you know who to let in and out
A
No one says hello or meets your eye
A C D7
So-called friend who only says let's hang out if he runs into me
A
He says next weekend and I see him in five
[Chorus]
E7 G
I remember parties where people would dance to rock and roll all night
E7 G
I remember parties when people would show up just to start a fight
E7 G
I remember nights when we did both and I remember what you wore
D
A turquoise dress and tequila grin
C (G)
a mirthful mess when you walked in the door

[Verse 3]
A C D7
Can collectors making rounds after dark and I can hear them clank
A
I just drank and it's money in the bank
Ten cents in Michigan
A C D7
Witnesses just rang my bell Saturday when I was sleeping in
A
Is that why their magazines called Awake?
[Chorus]
E7
You can see me laughing to myself alone
G
Walking down the steps to the train
E7
You can see me writing words in a book
G
Waiting for a bus in the rain
E7
You can see a stranger asking me for a buck
G
And you can see me saying sure
D C
Cause I just got the word that David's dead
G
You won't see him ask me anymore
