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
