Intro (played on the high e-string): E:-7-8-10-8- x9 -7-8-7-5 x1 Verse:

^GIn the night, in the beat city light, we ^Emsteal ourselves ^Daway and hold on ^Gtight.

You were there, yeah we were all there,

too ^Emyoung, too smart, too ^Dmuch for this one ^Gtown. When ^Emwe'd get so ^Dhigh we got lost coming ^Cdown.

Pre-chorus:

^AmWhen we were kids in the ^Emstreet, ^Gkids in the street. ^AmWhen we were kids in the ^Emstreet, ^Gjust kids in the street.

Remember when we... Chorus:

^EmWe used to ^Claugh, we used to ^Gcry, live and die by the forty-five. ^EmTake me ^Cback, I'll go ^Gthere.

Who could stop us, and who would...

...^Amcare, always ^Emkeep to the ^Gkids in the street. Intro: E:-7-8-10-8- x3 -7-8-7-5 x1

Verse:

^GWe were dreams, we were American graffiti scenes. ^EmNo war, no peace, no ^Dhopes, no me just ^Gus.

And the songs with the words we'd sing wrong,

we'd ^Emdrive until that ^Djealous sun fell ^Gdown. Just to ^Emwash ourselves in the ^Dmoonlight summer ^Csounds.

Pre-chorus:

^AmWhen we were kids in the ^Emstreet, ^Gkids in the street. ^AmWhen we were kids in the ^Emstreet, ^Gjust kids in the street.

Remember when we... Chorus:

^EmWe used to ^Claugh, we used to ^Gcry, live and die by the forty-five. ^EmTake me ^Cback, I'll go ^Gthere.

Who could stop us, and who would...

...^Amcare, always ^Emkeep to the ^Gkids in the street. Bridge: ^BmAnd we never felt, so ^Galive. And we'd ^Bmdance, all night, under the s^Gky. We'd ^Emlive, we'd breath, we'd ^Cdie. When the ^Emworld, stood, still, for you and ^DI.

Just... Verse:

^GCandles burn, 'cause the world will always turn I'll ^Emburn both ends ^Duntil my fire's ^Gout Lost ^Emin the darkness ^DI can still scream ^Cout.

Chorus:

^EmWe used to ^Claugh, we used to ^Gcry, say goodbye to I-35. ^EmTake me ^Cback, down a dirty ^Groad,

where it went we didn't care to know.

^EmA glory ^Cnight is a story ^Gsaved. Mark the chapter, but turn the... ...^Ampage, always ^Emkeep, to ^Gkids in the street. ^AmWhen we were kids in the ^Emstreet, ^Gjust kids in the street.
