G                                              D
Yeah you believe you're the king of the jungle, 

G                                              D
You got the t-shirt, do you know how the song goes.

C                                              D
You're looking good but the fact is you're lazy,

C                                              D 
But people love you 'cause you're funny and crazy.

G                           D
7-11, buy a six pack o'beer,

G                                                 D
If there's a party you're the last one to leave it.

C                                               D
It's not too late, we can stop all the dreamin', 

C                                               D
Get out this town, look around, we don't need it.
[Pre-Chorus]
D                                      C
Hell and heaven, they can wait for you,

D
So go and do all the things that you want to do.
[Chorus]
G                                               D
So set me free, C'est La Vie,

G                                               D
I said, come on pretty baby, take a chance on me,

C                                               D
It's a shame on me cause I didn't see,

C                                               D
That you were looking at me baby by the Ferris wheel.
[Verse 2]
G                                               D
I know you're cool but you think that you're chocolate,

G                                               D
Get off my nerves, cause I still got a soft spot.

C                                               D
You look at me, you think I got all the answers,

C                                               D
Maybe I do, but I'm scared takin' chances.

G                                               D
Floating our bottle, but we aint sailing nowhere,

G                                               D
Rip out the cork, get the wind into our hair.

C                                               D
Get off the train in the rain at the station,

C                                               D
Knock back the drink, cause we think the boat's sinkin'.
[Pre-Chorus]
D
Hell and heaven, they can wait for you,

D 
So go and do all the things that you want to do.
[Chorus 2]
G                             D
So set me free C'est la vie,

G                                               D
I said, come on pretty baby, take a dance with me.

C                                               D
I said, a shame on me cause I didn't see, 

C                                               D
That you were looking at me baby by the Ferris wheel.

G                                               D
I said a stand by me, stick around with me,

G                                               D
Cause it's a long walk back to where we've just been.

C                                               D
I said, a hey there baby so you're banking on me, 

C                                               D
I just I wish I never found her but hey C'est la vie.
[Bridge]
D                                               C
I said they're playing our song on the radio, 

D                                               D
And we're singing out loud, all the words that we know

Em                                              D
And it's a long tongue Sally pissing off Peggy Sue

Em                                               D
Oh it's about me and you cause it's time that we grew,

         C                                               
And you said yeah yeah yeah come along with me,

C                                               
And then you think all the things that you want to see,

                 D                              
I said a woah pretty baby come and take my hand

D                                               D
I'm gonna shake you all night, baby yes I can, wooah!
[Verse 3]
G                                               D
Such as life in the rear view mirror,

G                                               D
The open road up ahead is the future.

D                                               C
Time came round and wrecked our place,

D                                               C
But when I look back now I got a smile on my face.
[Chorus 3]
G                                               D
Come on baby take a chance with me,

G                                               D
Stick around on the town if you wanna see.

C                                               D
We don't belong anywhere is what she said to me,

C                                               D
So come on, take a dance and spin around with me.

G                                               D
She said shout now baby, set me free C'est la vie,

G                                               D
I said I'll stand by me, stick around with me.

C                                               D
And when the street lights fall, you can buy my beer,

C                                               D
Cause when the morning light comes, I'll be gone C'est la vie.
[Outro]

We don't belong anywhere,

C                      D
We don't belong anywhere.

G
We don't belong anywhere,

C
We don't belong anywhere.
