[Verse]
F                                                  Am7
All that I know in my life I have learned on the street
F                                         Am7
No magic carpet, no genie, no shoes on my feet
        G
Will I wake up from this nightmare
              F
A fear that chills me to the bone
          G
Though I may be one of many
   Am           G
I feel so all alone


[Chorus]
C             Am             Bb
 We are the children of the night
C             Am             Bb
 We won't go down without a fight
C             Am                  F
 Our voices strong, our futures bright
     Ab
And thanks to what we've learned from you
        Bb                                    Am
We've grown into the children of the night


[Verse]
F                                             Am7
 Left by my father with only this scar on my face
F                                             Am7
 Told by my mother that no, you were just a mistake
        G
I have tasted my own hunger
         F
Sold my body to survive
            G
So they'll pay to scratch the surface
          Am                   Bm
But they can't touch what's inside


[Chorus]
C             Am             Bb
 We are the children of the night
C             Am             Bb
 We won't go down without a fight
C             Am                  F
 Our voices strong, our futures bright
     Ab
And thanks to what we've learned from you
        Bb                                    Am
We've grown into the children of the night

[Bridge]
       G
How I long for something better
           F
Than this life I know too well
         G
Lord I know I'm bound for heaven
            Am              G
Cause I've done my time in hell


[Chorus]
C             Am             Bb
 We are the children of the night (Children of the night)
C             Am             Bb
 We won't go down without a fight (Woah oh oh woah)
C             Am                  Bb
 Our voices strong, our futures bright
     Ab
And thanks to what we've learned from you
        Bb
We've grown into the children of the night
