Tom: B 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
