This is the chord progression of Out On The Street by The Vaccines on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
C# F#
Who put bars across your window of opportunity?
F#
Did you see?
C# F#
You called me a broken record
F#
But I’ll, but I’ll never be
C# F#
I am trying to be honest
F#
If I end up sounding cold
C# F#
It’s the middle of the winter
F#
And I wanted you to

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Hear me out! I’m out on the street
F
And I’m trying to find your building, baby
Am
Here I am! I’ll be in retreat
F
I’ve been going ’round in circles, lately

[Verse 2]
C# F#
You told me I’m hard to live with
F#
But you said it out of spite
C# F#
I may put you through some suffering
F#
But I never prove you right
C# F#
It’s a chapter that you’re stuck on
F#
And you’d rather read alone
C# F#
I’m an uninspiring ending
F#
But the best you’ve ever known

[Refrain]
Am
Here I am! I’m out on the street
F
And I’m trying to find your building, baby
Am
Here I am! I’ll be in retreat
F
I’ve been going ’round in circles, lately

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Here I am! I’m out on the street
F
And I’m trying to find your building, baby
Am
Here I am! I’ll be in retreat
F
I’ve been going ’round in circles, lately

[Chorus]
Am F
I’m not like “Can we just pretend?”
G
I thought of her, I thought of you
E
I thought it through and I’m calling you
Am F
I’m not like “Can we just pretend?”
G
I thought of her, I thought of you
E
I thought it through then I called you
Am F
I’m not like “Can we just pretend?”
G
I thought of her, I thought of you
E
I thought it through then I called you

How to play Out On The Street: key, chords and progression

Out On The Street by The Vaccines keeps coming home to A minor (no sharps or flats). You need 6 chords: C#, F#, Am, F, G and E.

Listen for Am – F – G – E (i – VI – VII – V in A minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, C#, F# and F need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
