[Verse 1]
Am Hey have you heard the news? Am Somebody stole my shoes Am And I can smell the booze Am How indiscreet Am And though I had a plan Am After that thief outran Am Into another man Am Who had no feet Am I swear to god that day Am That guy with no feet say Am "You got to walk my way" Am "That's how it's planned" Am That's when I thought, "good grief" Am J-Just ain't my belief Am Until I saw the holes Am Inside his hand
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Em G A D Street Em G A D Jesus Em G A D Street Em G A D Jesus
[Verse 2]
Em Come on, come on, what you think about life? G A D Demon in heaven gotta carry a knife Em You said to me, "no, that ain't the plan" G A D With a smile on his face and the holes in his hand Em Wise man tell ya what they're reading from a scroll G A D But things kinda change when the story gets told Em They tell it like it is to everybody they meet G A D Just to sing it in the church what they're preaching in the street
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A Placate and vacate your mind Bm A Too late to make hate you'll find
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Em G A D Street Em G A D Jesus Em G A D Street Em G A D Jesus
[Verse 3]
Em Good God Almighty, s'posed to be about love G A D You must've wished upon me by kissing the glove Em I'm a high-stepping lover, sharp as a knife G A D I'm a pink flamingo on a great long life Em A wise man, poor man, beggar man too G A D You bet your bottom dollar but whatcha gonna do? Em I can make up daylight jealous of the night G A D I try to play the game but I never get it right!
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A Placate and vacate your mind Bm A Too late to make hate you'll find

[Verse 4]
Am When you wonder what's up Am With your half empty cup Am Say tell him "don't give up" Am "Reach for the stars" Am You think you're so street wise Am Just pray and close your eyes Am Until we colonize Am The moon and stars Am But wouldn't it be great Am If we could wipe the slate Am When we all live in hate Am And all this fear Am So please don't call me "sir" Am If your whole life's a blur Am And Mr. Bartender Am Another beer

[Verse]
N.C.
Sometimes it's hard trying to keep up the pace
N.C.
The train kept a rolling when you're trying to win the race
N.C.
If you don't believe me, wanna stay in the game
N.C.
You gotta know who from the heavens came
N.C.
They tell it like it is to everybody they meet
N.C.
Cause they're singin in the church what they're preachin in the street
N.C.
If you wanna give 'em hell then you tell it from the steeple
N.C.
But I'd rather be a priest so I can scream it to the people
[Chorus 2]
Bm Am Placate and vacate your mind Bm Am Too late to make hate you'll find Bm Am You won't get too many tries Bm Am Love is the love of my life
[Chorus 1]
Em G A D Street Em G A D Jesus Em G A D Street Em G A D Jesus Em G A D Street Em G A D Jesus Em G A D Street Em G A D Jesus Em G A D Street Em G A D Jesus Em G A D Street Am Em Am Em Jesus
