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 ol' 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 couldn't control
           E
We were survivors
  D            E         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
    D            E           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           E            B
And we had the world on a string


[Chorus]
        E
We were the wild ones
                          B
The ones they couldn't control
           E
We were survivors
  D            E         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
    D            E           B
And we had the world by the tail
