Verse: B E Straight out of nowhere B And a little bit out of our minds E We were courting disaster B With one foot over the line E It was one for the show B And two for olʼ shorty and me E We were the wild ones D E B We had this town up a tree Chorus: E We were the wild ones B The ones they couldnʼt control E We were survivors D E B Good hearts - body and soul E We were the winners B ʼCause we didnʼt know we could fail E We were the wild ones D E B And we had the world by the tail Verse: E She was a lady B When a lady wasnʼt easy to be E Hanginʼ in limbo B She started hanginʼ with me E We were the music B ʼCause we had a song we could sing E We were the wild ones D E B And we had the world on a string Chorus. E We were the wild ones D E B And we had the world by the tail
