Verse:
G
In the night, in the beat city light,
EmDG
we steal ourselves away and hold on tight.
You were there, yeah we were all there,
EmDG
too young, too smart, too much for this one town.
EmDC
When we'd get so high we got lost coming down.
Pre-Chorus:
AmEmG
When we were kids in the street, kids in the street.
AmEmG
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street.
Remember when we...
Chorus:
EmCG
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
live and die by the forty-five.
EmCG
Take me back, I'll go there.
Who could stop us, and who would...
AmEmG
...care, always keep to the kids in the street.
Intro:
E:-7-8-10-8- x4
Verse:
G
We were dreams, we were American graffiti scenes.
EmDG
No war, no peace, no hopes, no me just us.
And the songs with the words we'd sing wrong,
EmDG
we'd drive until that jealous sun fell down.
EmDC
Just to wash ourselves in the moonlight summer sounds.
Pre-Chorus:
AmEmG
When we were kids in the street, kids in the street.
AmEmG
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street.
Remember when we...
Chorus:
EmCG
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
live and die by the forty-five.
EmCG
Take me back, I'll go there.
Who could stop us, and who would...
AmEmG
...care, always keep to the kids in the street.
Bridge:
BmG
And we never felt, so alive.
BmG
And we'd dance, all night, under the sky.
EmC
We'd live, we'd breath, we'd die.
EmD
When the world, stood, still, for you and I.
Just...
Verse:
G
Candles burn, 'cause the world will always turn
EmDG
I'll burn both ends until my fire's out
EmDC
Lost in the darkness I can still scream out.
Chorus:
EmCG
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
say goodbye to I-35.
EmCG
Take me back, down a dirty road,
where it went we didn't care to know.
EmCGA glory night is a story saved.
Mark the chapter, but turn the...
AmEmG
...page, always keep, to kids in the street.
AmEmG
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street.
