[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 G D Cmaj7 Even if we're surrounded Em D G Don't wanna slip away, slip away
[Refrain]
Cma7 D Em D
[Verse 2]
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 Em D Don't ever doubt it G D Cmaj7 Not even if we're surrounded Em D G Don't wanna slip away, slip away

[Bridge]
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
