Lyrics:

Verse 1:

BE

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 ol' shorty and me

E

We were the wild ones

DE B

We had this town up a tree





Chorus:

E

We were the wild ones

B

The ones they couldn't control

E

We were survivors

DE B

Good hearts - body and soul

E

We were the winners

B

'Cause we didn't know we could fail

E

We were the wild ones

DE B

And we had the world by the tail





Verse 2:

E

She was a lady

B

When a lady wasn't easy to be

E

Hangin' in limbo

B

She started hangin' with me

E

We were the music

B

'Cause we had a song we could sing

E

We were the wild ones

D EB

And we had the world on a string





Chorus.



E

We were the wild ones

DE B

And we had the world by the tail
