[Verse 1]
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]

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
G D Cadd9 G D C D
Don't be alarmed, tell yourself it's good to be, it's good to be alive

It's just another street kid on your tail

You know I run the toughest bunch this side of town

Let's hear it for the street kids

Let's hear it for the street kids

Making news just being around
Let's hear it for the street kids
