[D#] [F] [F#]
[B] When we walk down the street, [E] see the people stop and stare and say, haven't I seen that
face somewhere [F#] a long time ago?
[B] When we walk down the street, [E] see the finger that says, wah-ha!
With a high-going body when you walk on by, I [F#] thought I'd say hello.
They say, haven't I seen your face before?
Weren't you the boy that used to live next door?
Weren't you on television every night?
Haven't I seen you ride?

It's all [B] that we're gonna [F#] be if [E] we don't get it [B] together.
Make a [F#] new plan and [E] because then [F#] you're [B] better.
All that [F#] you'll be [E] if you don't get it [B] together now.
[E] If you know me then pass me by.
If you wonder what I'm doing, don't ask me why.
I [F#] don't need to hear you.
[B] When we walk down the street,
[E] if you're sorry then don't feel bad.
If you follow my story, I'll just as glad you [F#] ain't in my tube.
Because haven't you seen my face before?
Yet I was a boy who lived next door.
Yet I was on television every night.
Haven't you seen me ride?

That's all [B] we'll [F#] be.
