Verse:
Em C/G
Everybody wants a piece of paradise
G D
A house upon a hill with a view of heaven
Em C/G
Now everyone's here so close together
G D
Paradise is lost and gone forever
Chorus:
C/G G
When we were young we used to walk out in those fields
D Am
And run forever in the backyard woods
C/G D G
Now the old trails disappear in neighborhoods
D Riff 1
With streets after what's gone for good
Verse:
The hills above town used to be the best place
For starry eyed lovers and inspiration
Now it's all paved
Every street's a dead end
And empty summer houses stand all along them
Chorus
C G
Now there's no trespassing
D Am
There's no going back again
C G
I only hope you remember
D Am
The way it was, what we had back then
Chorus
Verse:
Everybody wants a piece of paradise
A house up on the hill with a view of heaven
