[Verse]

   Dm                   C
As nighttime falls they come alive
    G                 Dm
And show their pretty faces
Dm           C
Out come the flash cars
        G                  Dm
And the girls who wait for longed embraces
    Dm              C
The work they do is short and sweet
    G                     Dm
The money's there for the taking
     Dm               C
Well daddy's rich and he don't care
     G           Bb               C
It's all part of junior's making junior's making


[Chorus]

Dm                  F       G
Stay alive like the rich kids
Bb                C
Stay alive in the city
Dm                  F          G
Stay alive like the rich kids
          Bb   C      Dm
Don't get shot in the city

[Verse 2]

    Dm                   C
The esteem they hold has not been earned
    G                 Dm
But money talks so loudly
Dm           C                       G
They walk on ground that's shared by stars
                     Dm
Who've climbed their ladders proudly
  Dm               C                   G
Society holds this place in our dreams
                            Dm
For those who ain't sitting waiting
Dm                   C
While the rest of us stare in vain
     G           Bb               C
It's all part of junior's making junior's making


[Chorus 2]

Dm                  F       G
Stay alive like the rich kids
Bb                C
Stay alive in the city
Dm                  F          G
Stay alive like the rich kids
          Bb   C      Dm
Don't get shot in the city

[Verse 3]

Dm                 C
False friends know how far to go
   G               Dm
Before they can be caught
    Dm                C
But who knows who the real ones are
    G               Dm
For only these have yet to be bought
    Dm              C
The work they do is short and sweet
    G                     Dm
The money's there for the taking
     Dm               C
Well daddy's rich and he don't care
     G           Bb               C
It's all part of junior's making junior's making


[Chorus 3]

Dm                  F       G
Stay alive like the rich kids
Bb                C
Stay alive in the city
Dm                  F          G
Stay alive like the rich kids
          Bb   C      Dm
Don't get shot in the city


[Chorus 4]

Dm                  F       G
Stay alive like the rich kids
Bb                C
Stay alive in the city
Dm                  F          G
Stay alive like the rich kids
          Bb   C      Dm
Don't get shot in the city
Bb   C      Dm
Shot in the city
Bb
Shot in the city
