Fm         Cm
Trouble in little town
D#          A#m
People all gathered 'round
Fm            Cm
Abandoned bag on a step
D#            A#m
This is what happened next

C#                    Fm                    C#
I was only trying to hear what the teacher said
                Fm                    C#
Then I heard a gunshot ringing in my head
                   G#     Cm             Fm          C#
Can see it on the evening news, there's twenty-three dead
    G#     Cm            Fm            A#
In two-by-twos with our shirts stained red

Chorus:
    G#           Fm       C#  D#
We walk these streets of Heaven
    G#           Fm       C#  D# Fm
We walk these streets of Heaven now

It's hard to get through the days
Knowing they're miles away
Knowing what could've been
I look on down and I see

My brother on the stand, trying to make a case
My mother in the hallway, with tears upon her face
The lawyers say these cruel machines, they keep us safe
But you and me, we know the price to pay

Chorus:
As we walk these streets of Heaven
Walk these streets of Heaven
It's to we walk these streets of Heaven

D#        G#   D#     G#
Another shot, wasted life
C#       G#/C     A#m    D#
Another friend to walk beside
D#         G#         D#        G#
I know it hurts, but wipe your eyes
          C#     Cm      A#m     E
And we'll sing until the old men cry
      G#/C           C#    A#m         D#
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
      G#/C           C#    A#m         D#
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
      G#/C           C#    A#m         D#
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
      G#/C             C#             A#m     D#
We're just a bunch of kids, we didn't have to die

Chorus:
As we walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven now
