Gmaj7 Dsus2 Gmaj7 Dsus2
We were brought up in a boring town
Gmaj7 Dsus2 Gmaj7 Dsus2
Watching our feet sink into the ground
Am G Bm C
Never went up on a roof at night – oh no
Dm C
On top of the city
Em F
To look at the lights
Gmaj7 Dsus2 Gmaj7 Dsus2
Remember the TV was on all day
Gmaj7 Dsus2 Gmaj7 Dsus2
With so much silence to chase away
Am G Bm C
Now we sit up on the roof at night – you know
Dm C
And listen to sirens
Em Bm7
And neighbours who fight
Am Em
We're the A Team, the White Knights
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And we want it all
Am Em
We got the big dream And the bright lights
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
But we don't see the stars anymore
Gmaj7 Dsus2 Gmaj7 Dsus2
We were brought up with the smell of grass
Gmaj7 Dsus2 Gmaj7 Dsus2
Knowing that nobody had no class
Am G Bm C
Sitting on top of a tower of steel – now I know
Dm C
That nobody's perfect
Em F
And everything's real
Am Em
We're the A Team, the White Knights

And we want it all
