[Intro (played on the high e-string):]
E:-7-8-10-8- (x10)
[Verse:]
(G)In the night, in the beat city light,
we (Em)steal ourselves (D)away and hold on (G)tight.
You were there, yeah we were all there,
too (Em)young, too smart, too (D)much for this one (G)town.
When (Em)we'd get so (D)high we got lost coming (C)down.
[Pre-Chorus:]
(Am)When we were kids in the (Em)street, (G)kids in the street.
(Am)When we were kids in the (Em)street, (G)just kids in the street.
Remember when we
[Chorus:]
(Em)We used to (C)laugh, we used to (G)cry,
live and die by the forty-five.
(Em)Take me (C)back, I'll go (G)there.
Who could stop us, and who would
(Am)care, always (Em)keep to the (G)kids in the street.
[Intro:]
E:-7-8-10-8- (x4)
[Verse:]
(G)We were dreams, we were American graffiti scenes.
(Em)No war, no peace, no (D)hopes, no me just (G)us.
And the songs with the words we'd sing wrong,
we'd (Em)drive until that (D)jealous sun fell (G)down.
Just to (Em)wash ourselves in the (D)moonlight summer (C)sounds.
[Pre-chorus:]
(Am)When we were kids in the (Em)street, (G)kids in the street.
(Am)When we were kids in the (Em)street, (G)just kids in the street.
Remember when we
[Chorus:]
(Em)We used to (C)laugh, we used to (G)cry,
live and die by the forty-five.
(Em)Take me (C)back, I'll go (G)there.
Who could stop us, and who would
(Am)care, always (Em)keep to the (G)kids in the street.
[Bridge:]
(Bm)And we never felt, so (G)alive.
And we'd (Bm)dance, all night, under the (G)sky.
We'd (Em)live, we'd breath, we'd (C)die.
When the (Em)world, stood, still, for you and (D)I.
Just
[Verse:]
(G)Candles burn, 'cause the world will always turn
I'll (Em)burn both ends (D)until my fire's (G)out
Lost (Em)in the darkness (D)I can still scream (C)out.
[Chorus:]
(Em)We used to (C)laugh, we used to (G)cry,
say goodbye to I-35.
(Em)Take me (C)back, down a dirty (G)road,
where it went we didn't care to know.
(Em)A glory (C)night is a story (G)saved.
Mark the chapter, but turn the
(Am)page, always (Em)keep, to (G)kids in the street.
(Am)When we were kids in the (Em)street, (G)just kids in the street.
