Kids In The Street by The All American Rejects

Chords with lyrics

Transcribed by ear, using this Youtube version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMjaTMwC64c

*I'm well aware that the Chord diagramG+G chord at the end of each chorus might not be correct (I
couldn't find a better sounding chord there, but feel free to correct this part in
the comments) but everything else should be close to, if not 100% correct.

Intro (played on the high e-string):
e:-7-8-10-8- x10

Verse:
Chord diagramG+G
In the night, in the beat city light,
  Chord diagramE minorEm       Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramG+G
we steal ourselves away and hold on tight.

You were there, yeah we were all there,
  Chord diagramE minorEm          Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramG+G
too young, too smart, too much for this one town.
   Chord diagramE minorEm     Chord diagramD MajorD            Chord diagramC majorC
When we'd get so high we got lost coming down.

Pre-chorus:
Chord diagramA minorAm            Chord diagramE minorEm   Chord diagramG+G
When we were kids in the street, kids in the street.
Chord diagramA minorAm            Chord diagramE minorEm   Chord diagramG+G
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street.

Remember when we...

Chorus:
Chord diagramE minorEm     Chord diagramC majorC         Chord diagramG+G
We used to laugh, we used to cry,

live and die by the forty-five.
Chord diagramE minorEm   Chord diagramC majorC       Chord diagramG+G
Take me back, I'll go there.

Who could stop us, and who would...
  Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramE minorEm     Chord diagramG+G
...care, always keep to the kids in the street.

Intro:
E:-7-8-10-8- x4

Verse:
Chord diagramG+G
We were dreams, we were American graffiti scenes.
Chord diagramE minorEm          Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramG+G
No war, no peace, no hopes, no me just us.

And the songs with the words we'd sing wrong,
   Chord diagramE minorEm        Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramG+G
we'd drive until that jealous sun fell down.
    Chord diagramE minorEm          Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramC majorC
Just to wash ourselves in the moonlight summer sounds.

Pre-chorus:
Chord diagramA minorAm            Chord diagramE minorEm   Chord diagramG+G
When we were kids in the street, kids in the street.
Chord diagramA minorAm            Chord diagramE minorEm   Chord diagramG+G
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street.

Remember when we...

Chorus:
Chord diagramE minorEm     Chord diagramC majorC         Chord diagramG+G
We used to laugh, we used to cry,

live and die by the forty-five.
Chord diagramE minorEm   Chord diagramC majorC       Chord diagramG+G
Take me back, I'll go there.

Who could stop us, and who would...
  Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramE minorEm     Chord diagramG+G
...care, always keep to the kids in the street.

Bridge:
Chord diagramB minorBm          Chord diagramG+G
And we never felt, so alive.
     Chord diagramB minorBm              Chord diagramG+G
And we'd dance, all night, under the sky.
   Chord diagramE minorEm           Chord diagramC majorC
We'd live, we'd breath, we'd die.
     Chord diagramE minorEm                Chord diagramD MajorD
When the world, stood, still, for you and I.

Just...

Verse:
Chord diagramG+G
Candles burn, 'cause the world will always turn
   Chord diagramE minorEm       Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramG+G
I'll burn both ends until my fire's out
   Chord diagramE minorEm       Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramC majorC
Lost in the darkness I can still scream out.

Chorus:
Chord diagramE minorEm     Chord diagramC majorC         Chord diagramG+G
We used to laugh, we used to cry,

say goodbye to I-35.
Chord diagramE minorEm   Chord diagramC majorC         Chord diagramG+G
Take me back, down a dirty road,

where it went we didn't care to know.
Chord diagramE minorEm   Chord diagramC majorC        Chord diagramG+G
Chord diagramA augmentedA glory night is a story saved.

Mark the chapter, but turn the...
  Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramE minorEm    Chord diagramG+G
...page, always keep, to kids in the street.
Chord diagramA minorAm            Chord diagramE minorEm   Chord diagramG+G
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street.
