[ chorus ]
D A
long live the reckless and the brave
Bm
i don’t think i wanna be saved
A
my song has not been sung

so , long live us

[ verse ]
D
looking out at town called suburbia ,
A
everybody’s just fighting to fit in ,
Bm
little rats running mazes , having babies ,
A
it’s a vicious little world that we live in .

D
looking out , got a life on the other side ,
A
i realise that i didn’t fit in ,
Bm A
didn’t hate it , but i didn’t quite relate it to my precious little world .

[ chorus ]
D A
so , long live the reckless and the brave
Bm
i don’t think i wanna be saved
A
my song has not been sung
D A
and long live the fast times so come what may ,
Bm
i don’t think i’ll ever be saved ,
A
our song has not been sung .

long live us!

[ verse ]
D
breaking out of a town called suburbia ,
A
i remember everybody ,
Bm
always saying little brat must be crazy ,
A
never make it in our vicious little world ,

still i’m leaving .

D
got a van , got a chance , got my dignity ,
A
got a dream , got a spark , got somewhere to be ,
Bm A
take a breath , say goodbye to the precious little world .

[ chorus ]
D A
so , long live the reckless and the brave
Bm
i don’t think i wanna be saved
A
my song has not been sung
D A
and long live the fast times so come what may ,
Bm
i don’t think i’ll ever be saved ,
A
our song has not been sung .

long live us!

D , A Bm
