Raleigh Ritchie - The Greatest
[Verse 1]
G#Danger, warning, good morning
Is it D#dark outside or Bblight?
G#Last night was sordid, but we conquered the boredom
We wanna be D#cool and liked, but Bbyou won't see me G#calling
Don't wanna make this awkward
I'm feeling D#nauseous
And I'm seeing four of us
But we came with G#five
And we don't waste time
We'll live or D#die
When we Bbchoose life
[Chorus]
We'll be G#dancing forever, we don't know any better
We're D#lazy, whatever, at least we stick Bbtogether
We're the G#greatest, I mean it, we'll never be defeated
You can D#take us or leave us, we don't Bbcare if you believe us
Oh oh G#oh...
D# Bb
[Verse 2]
G#One drink, two drink, we're young, we're stupid
Who the D#fuck knows what they're Bbdoing?
G#Life is boring, and we can barely afford it
We've been D#blinded, assuming that Bbthis won't be our G#downfall
When we work for the council
Stuck with a D#houseful of kids that we now Bbadore
But we made on a G#whim, 
Though we fade and we dim
We're amazing and D#slim,
The queens and the Bbkings
[Chorus]
We'll be G#dancing forever, we don't know any better
We're D#lazy, whatever, at least we stick Bbtogether
We're the G#greatest, I mean it, we'll never be defeated
You can D#take us or leave us, we don't Bbcare if you believe us
Oh oh G#oh...
D# Bb
[Bridge]
G#See you in the same place when we're 83
We're gonna live D#foreverBb  
Even if I G#fall in love and have kids, will you wait for me?
We'll go hell for D#leatherBb  
Taking a G#tally of every day we lost
Taking a vacay, taking a sick day and we're off
When we're D#old men, we'll be lost
Doing our Bbrounds of paying the cost
G#We're way past the sunshine and ice cream
I pray it's not a pipe dreamD#  
As dumb as it might seem Bb  
When we're grown up, will you still like me?
[Chorus](x2)
We'll be G#dancing forever, we don't know any better
We're D#lazy, whatever, at least we Bbstick together
We're the G#greatest, I mean it, we'll never be defeated
You can D#take us or leave us, we don't Bbcare if you believe us
Oh oh G#oh...
D# Bb

Raleigh Ritchie - The Greatest

[Verse 1]

Danger, warning, good morning

D# Bb

Is it dark outside or light?

Last night was sordid, but we conquered the boredom

D# Bb G#

We wanna be cool and liked, but you won't see me calling

Don't wanna make this awkward

I'm feeling nauseous

And I'm seeing four of us

But we came with five

And we don't waste time

We'll live or die

When we choose life

[Chorus]

We'll be dancing forever, we don't know any better

D# Bb

We're lazy, whatever, at least we stick together

We're the greatest, I mean it, we'll never be defeated

D# Bb

You can take us or leave us, we don't care if you believe us

Oh oh oh...

D# Bb

[Verse 2]

One drink, two drink, we're young, we're stupid

D# Bb

Who the fuck knows what they're doing?

Life is boring, and we can barely afford it

D# Bb G#

We've been blinded, assuming that this won't be our downfall

When we work for the council

D# Bb

Stuck with a houseful of kids that we now adore

But we made on a whim,

Though we fade and we dim

We're amazing and slim,

The queens and the kings

[Chorus]

We'll be dancing forever, we don't know any better

D# Bb

We're lazy, whatever, at least we stick together

We're the greatest, I mean it, we'll never be defeated

D# Bb

You can take us or leave us, we don't care if you believe us

Oh oh oh...

D# Bb

[Bridge]

See you in the same place when we're 83

D# Bb

We're gonna live forever

Even if I fall in love and have kids, will you wait for me?

D# Bb

We'll go hell for leather

Taking a tally of every day we lost

Taking a vacay, taking a sick day and we're off

When we're old men, we'll be lost

Doing our rounds of paying the cost

We're way past the sunshine and ice cream

I pray it's not a pipe dream

As dumb as it might seem

When we're grown up, will you still like me?

[Chorus](x2)

We'll be dancing forever, we don't know any better

D# Bb

We're lazy, whatever, at least we stick together

We're the greatest, I mean it, we'll never be defeated

D# Bb

You can take us or leave us, we don't care if you believe us

Oh oh oh...

D# Bb
