THE STREET GIVETH AND THE STREET TAKETH AWAY
Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer
Intro: uitar only
Lookout!
Rhy. ig 1a
Rhy. ig 1b
Hey man, gotta take a stand, so you think that you've been had
I'm here to bet ya, street's gonna get ya, well two out of three ain't bad
Rhy. ig 2a
Hey man, it's gettin' out of hand, cross your heart and hope to die
Rhy. ig 3a w/ nd 1
You got yours, and I got mine, I'm gonna get what's comin' to ya
Rhy. ig 4 w/ nd 1
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no way
Rhy. ig 1a
Rhy. ig 1b
Hey man, don't you understand, you can run but you can't hide
Rhy. ig 1c
There ain't no life after death, so save your breath (you're gonna)
Be a rock 'n roll suicide
Rhy. ig 2b
Hey man, do you need a hand, but I ain't no blessing in disguise
Rhy. ig 3a w/ nd 2
Feel the agony, and the ecstacy, it's gonna burn right through ya
Rhy. ig 4 w/ nd 2
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no way
Rhy. ig 5
Rhy. ig 3b
Life's too short, so help yourself, 'cause I don't walk on water
uitar only
Rhy. ig 6
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no way
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away (repeat)
