Verse:
Db                          Gb      Db               
Johnny deals a bit of blow on the side
                             Gb        Db             
Thinks that he's invincible, hates a fight
                              Gb       Db                 
Jenny walks the streets alone she was fine
                                   Gb        Db                       
But she got kicked out of her home in hard times

Chorus:
Gb
The messed up kids are on the corner

With no money

They sell their time they sell their drugs

They sell their body 
B
And everywhere I see a sea of empty pockets

Beautiful girls with eyes so dark within their sockets
   Bbm
So far away
                  Gb         
It's a washed out Saturday
            Bbm    
The sky all pastel shades
                    Gb       
Under breeze block palisades

Verse:
Db                                          Gb      Db                      
Lights are smashed, the streets are closed in the town
                             Gb     Db                
Places no one really goes to hang around
                       Gb       Db                             
Give up on us long ago with no hope
                                  Gb         Db                   
All you hear's the cold wind blow and get stoned

Chorus:
Gb
The messed up kids are on the corner

With no money

They sell their time they sell their drugs

They sell their body 
B
And everywhere I see a sea of empty pockets

Beautiful girls with eyes so dark within their sockets
   Bbm
So far away
                   Gb        
It's a washed out Saturday
             Bbm   
The sky all pastel shades
                    F        
Under breeze block palisades

Chorus:
Gb
The messed up kids are on the corner

With no money

They sell their time they sell their drugs

They sell their body 
B
And everywhere I see a sea of empty pockets

Beautiful girls with eyes so dark within their sockets
   Bbm
So far away
                   Gb        
It's a washed out Saturday
             Bbm   
The sky all pastel shades
                    F        
Under breeze block palisades
