D# G# D#
Well I walked past just yesterday
G# D#
And I couldn't bare that new mall no more
D# G# A#
I can't expect you all to see it my way
G# A# Cm A#
But you may not know what was there before
G# A# G# D#
And I want them to put back my old corner store.
D# G# D#
Well I walked past just like I say
G# D#
And I felt this hurt that would not go home
D# G# A#
I can't expect that you're gonna see it my way
G# A# Cm A#
But you may not know the trees I've known
G# A# G# D#
And I want them to put back my old corner store.
G# A# G# A#
I know it costs more money to shop there
Cm A# G# A#
But this was love, this was love
G# A#
I know you had to pay more money
G# A#
I'll pay money, I'll pay more
I don't care what the mall has got
I want back that corner store
D# G# D#
And what did I feel when I walked by slow
G# D#
Sorrow sorrow, all around
D# G# A#
Why I would feel sorrow I now know
G# A# Cm A#
I smell a ghost smell from the ground
G# A# G# D#
That old wooden smell from the old corner store

I walked past one final time
G# D#
And I wished the worst on the place I shop
D# G# A#
Now I can't expect everyone to feel like I am
G# A# Cm A#
But I spot a trend that has got to stop

Live In Germany 1985 version - Lyrics
(this is a brand new song)
well now,
I walked past last a afternoon
And I couldn't stand that new mall any more
I don't expect you to sing my tune
But you don't know the trees that were there before
And I want them to put back that old corner store.
I walked past just a one more time
And I wished the worst for the place I shop
I don't expect you to feel like I'm
But I see a trend that has got to stop
And I want them to put back that corner store.
rock it
