Verse:
    Em                G
The atmosphere on the streets tonight,
       Am                  Em
Is the driving beat of the world,
    Em                    G
The word down here on the streets tonight,
       Am                  Em
Is the truest music you?ve heard.

   Dsus2                   D
So take your share of the gifts that are there,
    Dsus2          D
They all belong to you,
   Dsus2                 D
And come what may at the break of each day,
   F
We all begin anew once more, we all begin anew.

Chorus:

Em                        D
Baby, baby, baby let?s investigate,
    Em                     D
The other side of life tonight,
    Em                              D
The lovers and the fighters and the risks they take,
           Em             D    Em
Are on the other side of life tonight.

     Dsus2                 D
Let?s lose our way go completely astray,
   Dsus2            D
And find ourselves again,
           Em                           D
Y?know the only way to get there is to take that step
       Em            D     Em
To the other side of life tonight.

The timing is as acurate as it could be, because of the typing.
