Lyrics

Just a (B)small town girl,

liv in’ in a (A)lone ly world.

She took the (B)mid night train go in’ (G#m)an y where.

Just a (B)cit y boy,

born and raised in (A)south De troit.

He took the (B)mid night train go in’ (G#m)an y where.

A sing er in a (B)smok y room.

The smell of wine and (A)cheap per fume.

For a smile they can (B)share the night.

It goes (G#m)on and on and on and on.

(B)Stran (A)gers

(B)wait (E)ing

(E)up and down the (B)boul e (E)vard, their (B)shad (A)ows

(B)search (E)ing in the night.

(B)Street (A)light

(E)liv ing just to (B)find e (E)mo tion, (B)hid (A)ing

(B)search (E)ing in the night.

(B)some (E)where in the night.

Work in’ hard to (B)get my fill.

Ev ’ry bod y (A)wants a thrill.

Pay in’ an y thing to (B)roll the dice just (G#m)one more time.

Some will win,

some will lose,

some were born to (A)sing the blues.

Oh, the mov ie nev er ends; it goes (G#m)on and on and on and on.

(E)Don’t stop be (B)liev in’.

Hold on to the (A)feel in’,

(E)street light

(B)peo ple.

(E)Don’t stop be (B)liev ing.

Hold on,

(B)peo ple.

(E)Don’t stop be (B)liev in’.

Hold on to the (A)feel in’,

(B)peo ple.

(E)Don’t stop be (B)liev ing.

Hold on,

(E)street light

(B)peo ple.
