Standard (EADGBE)

 Walking on the streets of D.C.,

 On the East Coast where I live,

 You say what's the problem

 What's with this angry kid

 You don't like the way I walk,

 or the way I talk,

 or the way I swing my hands,

 You don't like the words I speak,

 or the thoughts I think,

 And I know you'll never understand

][Chorus][

 You know

 On the East Coast, we ride until we die

 You know,

 Well there's a place inside my mind,

 Yeah, a place you'll never find,

 There's a place inside my mind

 Walk this way

You know

][Riff 1][

 Wouldn't it be perfect

 if I could sit with you?

 And we would change a thing or 2,

 we'd change a thing or 2,

 We would change the way you think,

 we would change the way I think,

 We would change the way they think

 but we're not changin' anything

][Chorus][

 We'll leave today

You know

][Riff 1][ x3

 'Cause on the East Coast we ride,

 until the day we die

 Well there's a place inside my mind,

 Yeah, a place you'll never find,

 There's a place inside my mind, Walk this way

 There's a place inside my mind,

 Yeah, a place you'll never find,

 There's a place inside my mind, We'll leave today

 You know
