[Verse 1] 
C We were kids
CD Lookin' out into nothin'
Em/F#EmD Lookin' for a way to get around at night
C We were kids
CD 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
CD Sit the other side of these flood lights
C Dreaming up a way to escape
DEm Anyone around?
EmD Get me mission control, give me a sound on the radio
 [Chorus] 
EmD Stand up and be counted
GCmaj7 Before we slip away out here
EmDGG/F# Before we slip away, slip away
EmD Don't ever doubt it
GDCmaj7 Even if we're surrounded
EmDG Don't wanna slip away, slip away
 [Refrain]

[Verse 2] 
C We were Kings
CD 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
CD If we're gonna tumble in the gunfire
C Promise we'll be side by side
DEm Say you'll be there when the school gates close
D Say you'll be there when the rest don't show
 [Chorus] 
EmD Stand up and be counted
GCmaj7 Before we slip away out here
EmDGG/F# Before we slip away, slip away
EmD Don't ever doubt it
GDCmaj7 Not even if we're surrounded
EmDG Don't wanna slip away, slip away

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