Verse 1:
E MajorE BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Me and my best friends cruising down West End Street
E MajorE BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Hiding from cops and driving circles around the block all week
E MajorE BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA
All of my friends died out on West End Street
E MajorE BB
They say we're born to die young
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
But we're just trying to live in peace
Chorus:
E MajorE BB
So maybe heaven is a ghetto with no bad blocks
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Shangri-La dealers at the bus stops
E MajorE BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA
And maybe god is just a cop that we can fast talk
E MajorE BB
So if you're guilty and you know it, put your hands up
C# minorC#m
'Cause karma's just a different
A augmentedA
Word for bad luck
E MajorE BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA
And what if death is just another pair of handcuffs
E MajorE BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Then we'd better run
E MajorE BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Then we'd better run
