[Verse 1]
Dm                          Am
Now you're running with the right crowd
         Dm                              Am
Well you better watch the friends you're choosing
Dm                     Am
Girl, you're a walking winner now
        G
But you better keep your eye on who's doing the loosing
Dm            Am                Dm
All the faces staring down your throat
              Am                      Dm
All the eyes, darling, that are never closed
              Am             G
Well in your sadness, girl, maybe there's something that you oughta know

C                             G               Dm
Night fire, the night fire is out in the dark burning
C                             G                  Dm
Night fire, the night fire is down in the street yearning

[Verse 2]
Dm                            Am
Yeah you're running with the right crowd
    Dm                      Am
The money and the wine are flowing
Dm                        Am
You find a place with the right crowd
         G
But you forgot about that storm, that storm was blowing
       Dm                 Am
(Dance on) Let the music play
       Dm                        Am
(Dance on) Let the night roll to day
       Dm                   Am
(Dance on) Don't listen to what they say
           G
Just keep moving to the beat, to the beat, to the big beat

[Verse 3]
Dm                   Am                  Dm
Will they punch your ticket as you grow old
                   Am                       Dm
Do you really get used to being bought and sold
                     Am                 Dm
Does that brand new dress keep out the cold
                  Am                  Dm
Do your brand new friends help you to keep
                  Am                        Dm
Pretty eyes from seeing what they shouldn't see
               Am                        Dm
The sound of breaking glass and running feet
               Am                        Dm
The sound of breaking glass and running feet
                   Am             Dm
Won't you tell me, baby, I got to know
                   Am             Dm
Won't you tell me, baby, I got to know
                   Am             Dm
Won't you tell me, baby, I got to know
                   Am             Dm
Won't you tell me, baby, I got to know
