D                                          Csus2       G/B      Dsus4/A C  G   C G C G C G
 They must have had the whole thing planned,     there must have been a hundred
D                  Csus2  G/B       Dsus4/A C  G    C G C G C G
 If we make a stand,    I think we'll be outnumbered
D                     Csus2 G/B   Dsus4/A C  G C    G C G C G
 If I'd had the chance,     then I could  understand
D                             Csus2 G/B  Dsus4/A C    G   C   G C G C G
 Why I'm a juvenile delinquent,        in  an    east end gang


Pre-Chorus:
D                                      Cadd9
 And if you think you've seen gasoline burning in my eyes
G                                                                   D Cadd9 G D C D
Don't be alarmed, tell yourself it's good to be, it's good to be alive


Chorus :
Bm                                     D
  It's just another street kid on your tail
G
Running on the wrong side of the rails
        Bm                   E
With my boot lace tie and my hand-me-downs
         C                                     G
You know I run the toughest bunch this side of town
      G7sus4
Those street kids making news just being around


Instrumental:
D Cadd9 G D C D X2


Verse 2:
D                                  Csus2 G/B      Dsus4/A   C   G  C G C G C G
 I've been bottled and been brained,     squealers can't be trusted
D                        Csus2    G/B         Dsus4/A  C  G  C G C G C G
 Ooh, if we fight tonight,    you can bet we'll all be busted
D                      Csus2 G/B Dsus4/A   C   G   C G C G C G
 I'd like to break away,          from the rut I'm in
D                             Csus2 G/B  Dsus4/A    C    G  C  G C G C G
 But beggars can't be choosers,     yeah, and I was born to sin


Pre-Chorus:
D                                      Cadd9
 And if you think you've seen gasoline burning in my eyes

Don't be alarmed, tell yourself it's good to be, it's good to be alive


Chorus:
Bm                                     D
  It's just another street kid on your tail

With my boot lace tie and my hand-me-downs
         C                                     G
You know I run the toughest bunch this side of town

Those street kids making news just being around
