F#m   A   B7
F#m   A   B7

[Verse 1]
         F#m          A     B7
Where the streets are paved
             F#m     A      B7
With chewing gum and beer
          F#m       A
Where the wisest of men
        B7                 F#m            A    B7
Are the men you don't ever see around here
          F#m       A     B7
Where the aftershave
           F#m       A    B7
is killing every taste
          F#m      A
Where the women forgot
          B7                            F#m        A     B7
What they got all dressed up for in the very first place

[Pre-Chorus]
         F#m          A
And when all that you need
          B7
Is just a little room to breathe
         F#m        A          B7
When you dance this thin, thin line
                      F#m   A    B7
Oh man, you better be kind

[Chorus]
                  F#m   A   B7
And you better be kind
                 F#m        A    B7
Or stop wasting, wasting my time
                  F#m   A   B7
And you better be kind

[Verse 2]
       F#m        A       B7
At the age you're sixteen,
            F#m      A    B7
you feeling wise and old
          F#m           A
And the streets of your dreams
B7                    F#m     A    B7
Seem to be paved with sex and gold
          F#m         A     B7
Where the booze makes fools,
         F#m    A    B7
feels so lion strong
         F#m          A
When the morning time drops all it's
B7                          F#m       A          B7
''Here you go's'', down, oh man, what have I done

[Pre-Chorus]
         F#m          A
And when all that you need
    B7
Is just a little room to breathe
         F#m           A
When the best that you can
        B7
Doesn't cut it for them
     F#m          A
When all that you see
             B7
Is what they want you to see
         F#m        A          B7
When you dance this thin, thin line
                      F#m  A  B7
Oh man, you better be kind

[Chorus]
              F#m  A  B7
You better be kind
                 F#m       A     B7
Or stop wasting, wasting my time
                  F#m   A   B7
And you better be kind 
                   F#m   A   B7
Ooh, you better be kind
