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