"Street Child"
We are the little ones [B]who roam the underbelly
[F#]Of the streets that normal people walk[B]
[Abm]Wrong side of the tracks, the deep end of the [F#]ocean
[Abm]The color of the gypsies in the shadow [F#]night
[B]Darkness inside out seeps into your veins[Abm]
Listen to the rain
[F#]The only thing keeping you alive
Is the graci[Abm]ous night
(Chorus:)
Let me [B]go, let me s[Abm]leep until forever
Let me [F#]close my eyes and hide until the [Abm]never
Let me [B]go, let me s[Abm]lip into the sky
[F#]And tiptoe into madness in a hollow [Ab]cry
'[B]Cause no one ever told me [Abm]I committed any crime
[F#]And no one ever told me how [Abm]I went blind
[B]And all I ever wanted was a [Abm]free mind
[F#]A guiltless conscience and a place where I[Abm] could fly
[B]I threw my cards out on the table
And I put my n[Abm]eck out on the line
[F#]I took the verdict I was handed
And now [Abm]I've served my time
(Chorus x2)
[B] [Abm] SOL[F#]O[Abm]
(Chorus x2)
