  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

 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
