Capo 3, Standard Tuning
[Verse 1]
C
We were kids
C D
Lookin' out into nothin'
Em/F# Em D
Lookin' for a way to get around at night
C
We were kids
C D
Holdin' out for a dream
Em
We were born to be wild and free
D
Or sit alone online
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C
But I don't wanna wait
C D
Sit the other side of these flood lights
C
Dreaming up a way to escape
D Em
Anyone around?
Em D
Get me mission control, give me a sound on the radio
[Chorus]
Em D
Stand up and be counted
G Cmaj7
Before we slip away out here
Em D G G/F#
Before we slip away, slip away
Em D
Don't ever doubt it

Even if we're surrounded
Em D G
Don't wanna slip away, slip away

C
We were Kings
C D
We were Queens of an empire
Em
We were made out on these streets
D
We were all desire
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C
So, if we're gonna break
C D
If we're gonna tumble in the gunfire
C
Promise we'll be side by side
D Em
Say you'll be there when the school gates close
D
Say you'll be there when the rest don't show
[Chorus]
Em D
Stand up and be counted
G Cmaj7
Before we slip away out here
Em D G G/F#
Before we slip away, slip away

C
High on hope and high on fear
D7
We were heartbreak of the year
Em/G G
We were stackin' up to fall (oh, oh)
C
We were summers in the street
D7
We were sunlight through the trees
Em/G G
We were born for silver screens (oh, oh)
C
We were whispers in the dark
D7
We were sleeping under stars
Em/G G
Singing, "all of this is ours" (oh oh)
C
We were rollercoaster screams
D7
'Til our hearts burst at the seams
Em/G G
We're not gonna let it all go up in smoke
