Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][A][A][A]
[A][A][A][A]

[Verse 1]
[A]Looking out a dirty old window
Down below the cars in the city
go [G]rushing by
I [F]sit here a[G]lone and I [D]wonder why

[Verse 2]
[A]Friday night and everyone's moving
I can feel the heat
but it's soothing, [G]heading down
I [F]search for the [G]beat in this [D]dirty...
Downtown the young ones ones are going
[E]Downtown the young ones are growing

[Chorus 1]
[F]We're the kids in Amer[C]ica (Woah)
[F]We're the kids in Amer[C]ica (Woah)
[F]Everybody liv[G]e for the music-go-rou[A]nd

[Verse 3]
[A]Bright lights, the music gets faster
Look, boy, don't check on your watch,
not a[G]nother glance
I'm [F]not leaving [G]now, honey, [D]not a chance

[Verse 4]
[A]Hot-shot (Shot), give me no problems
Much later, baby,
you'll be saying [G]nevermind
You [F]know life is [G]cruel, life is [D]never...
Kind hearts don't make a new story
[E]Kind hearts don't grab any glory

[Chorus 2]
[F]We're the kids in Amer[C]ica (Woah)
[F]We're the kids in Amer[C]ica (Woah)

[Verse 5]
[A]Come closer, honey, that's better
Got to get a brand new experience,
[G]feeling right
Oh, [F]don't try to [G]stop, baby, [D]hold me tight

[Verse 6]
[A]Outside a new day is dawning
Outside suburbia's sprawling [G]everywhere
I [F]don't want to [G]go, baby
[D]New York to east California
[E]There's a new wave coming, I warn ya

[Chorus 3]
[F]We're the kids in Amer[C]ica (Woah)
[F]We're the kids in Amer[C]ica (Woah)
[F]Everybody liv[G]e for the music-go-
