Verse:
G
In the night, in the beat city light,
Em D G
we steal ourselves away and hold on tight.
You were there, yeah we were all there,
Em D G
too young, too smart, too much for this one town.
Em D C
When we'd get so high we got lost coming down.
Pre-chorus:
Am Em G
When we were kids in the street, kids in the street.
Am Em G
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street.
Remember when we...
Chorus:
Em C G
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
live and die by the forty-five.
Em C G
Take me back, I'll go there.
Who could stop us, and who would...
Am Em G
...care, always keep to the kids in the street.

Verse:
G
We were dreams, we were American graffiti scenes.
Em D G
No war, no peace, no hopes, no me just us.
And the songs with the words we'd sing wrong,
Em D G
we'd drive until that jealous sun fell down.
Em D C
Just to wash ourselves in the moonlight summer sounds.

Bridge:
Bm G
And we never felt, so alive.
Bm G
And we'd dance, all night, under the sky.
Em C
We'd live, we'd breath, we'd die.
Em D
When the world, stood, still, for you and I.
Just...
Verse:
G
Candles burn, 'cause the world will always turn
Em D G
I'll burn both ends until my fire's out
Em D C
Lost in the darkness I can still scream out.
Chorus:
Em C G
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
say goodbye to I-35.
Em C G
Take me back, down a dirty road,
where it went we didn't care to know.
Em C G
A glory night is a story saved.
Mark the chapter, but turn the...
Am Em G
...page, always keep, to kids in the street.
Am Em G
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street.
