D#
Well, I recall days in the city
And I think back, Oh what a pity
Remembering how it wasn't pretty
C#         G#      G#    A#
Every day life in the city

Out in the street we had to take it
With friends around, we couldn't fake it
What wasn't there, we had to make it
Hanging out down in the city

Chorus:
     F#   D#
The hard times are dead and gone
         F#   D#                  C#
But the hard times have made me strong
         F#   D#
And the hard times have made me see
          F#   D#                        C#
That the hard times ain't where I want to be

We had to fight to be accepted
It wasn't right and I protested
For hanging out we got arrested
Every day life in the city

We'd go to school and then we'd cut out
Go to the park and space our heads out
We called it fun but there was some doubt
Hangin out down in the city

Chorus

   B            C# B  F#  
I don't want to be there
or even think back
I don't want to be there,
now I'm on the right track, yeah

Chorus

I don't want to be there or even think back
I don't want to be there,
because I'm on the right track
Now I'm on the right track
I'm finally on the right track - x2
