KIDS IN AMERICA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Verse:--
A
  Looking out a dirty old window
                                     G
Down below the cars in the city go rushing by
   F         G           D
I sit here alone and I wonder why

A
Friday night and everyone's moving
                                       G
I can fell the heat but it's shooting heading down
   F              G            D
I search for the beat in this dirty town
--PreChorus:--
D
  Down town the young ones are going
Eii
  Down town the young ones are growing

--Chorus:--
Fii                    C
 We're the kids in America (x 2)
Fii           G                    A
 Everybody live for the music-go-round

--Second verse identical to first:--

Bright lights the music gets faster
Look boy, don't check on your watch
Not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance

Hotshot, give me no problems
Much later baby you'll be saying never mind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind

Kind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory

Fii                  C
  We're the kids in America (x 2)
Fii         G                      A
  Everybody live for the musicgoround

A        C G  F
Na na ...
A        C G  F G A~~ (let ring)
Na na ...


Come closer, honey that's better
Got to get a brand new experience
Feeling right
Oh don't try to stop baby
Hold me tight (slide)

Outside a new day is dawning
Outside Sububia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go baby
??????? to Southern California
There's a wave coming I warn you

--Chorus-- + Na na na part

--Bridge 3x--
A C# A#

--Outro till the end--
Fii     C#        A#
We're the kids(x3) in America
