Chorus C You know the kids are alright F You know the kids are alright Em I got the taste on my tongue G And air in my lungs C The kids are alright Verse 1 C Oh darling, oh darling, I'm skippin' school F Hidin' from your mama but you ain't no fool Em G C Sailin' through your classes like an ocean cruise, oh yeah Verse 2 C Oh heaven, oh heaven, where did you go? F Dancing to the rhythm of the radio Em G C Signal's getting weaker as I'm getting old, oh yeah Chorus C You know the kids are alright F You know the kids are alright Em I got the taste on my tongue G And air in my lungs C The kids are alright Verse 3 C Oh my little heaven, yeah we can dream F Shining out the memories for the silver screen Em G C Scattering around me like a colour scheme, oh yeah Verse 4 C Oh mama, oh mama I'm up all night F Sweating, yeah I'm climbing up the farenheits Em G C Coasting through the city like a satellite, oh yeah Chorus C You know the kids are alright F You know the kids are alright Em I got the taste on my tongue G And air in my lungs C The kids are alright Instrumental Interlude Verse 5 C Oh horror, oh horror, what did you see? F Monsters in the closet and they just won't leave Em G C Clogging up your arteries with memories, oh yeah Verse 6 C The skeleton living inside your head F Rattling and gasping, coming up for breath Em G C Maybe in your memory I'm still not dead, oh yeah Chorus C You know the kids are alright F You know the kids are alright Em I got the taste on my tongue G And air in my lungs C The kids are alright
