[Verse 1]
   BmYoung and wAild and freeG  
and full of fDantasy we Bmsearch the sAummer
to Gfind a flameD.
   BmTo take us Ahigher, whether it's Garson or it's Dwildfire,
We Bmtry to catch the Aashes as they Gfly awayD.
   EmWicked wDaves, they swell a Amile Bmhigh
   Emyet all of Dus still want to ridAe.
[CHORUS]
And it's a lGeft hook to the Dright jaw,
the wArong man and it's Bmour fault,
and these Gwild DeeeeyyAyeeeesss.
And it's a Ggood look at the Dlast straw
the Abad girls, the Bmsweet talk
and their Gwild DeeeeyAyyeeeesss, thesGe wilDd eeeeyAyyeeeesss.
[Verse 2]
   BmCut the Aropes, don't settle in,G  
Ditch the gDuidelines and Bmskim the sAkylines
For an GofferingD.
   BmReckless Aways and fickle cGrazes
become Dyesterday's Bmforgotten and aAbandoned,
and Glost along the Dway.
The Emblindness is still Dblindness tAoday.
[CHORUS]
And it's a lGeft hook to the Dright jaw,
the wArong man and it's Bmour fault,
and these Gwild DeeeeyyAyeeeesss.
And it's a Ggood look at the Dlast straw
the Abad girls, the Bmsweet talk

EmBlindly get inDside the wind
They've Aclearly lost the Bmway

to find a flame.

To take us higher, whether it's arson or it's wildfire,

We try to catch the ashes as they fly away.

Wicked waves, they swell a mile high

yet all of us still want to ride.

[CHORUS]

And it's a left hook to the right jaw,

the wrong man and it's our fault,

G D A

and these wild eeeeyyyeeeesss.

And it's a good look at the last straw

A Bm

the bad girls, the sweet talk

G D A G D A

and their wild eeeeyyyeeeesss, these wild eeeeyyyeeeesss.

[Verse 2]

Bm A G

Cut the ropes, don't settle in,

D Bm A

Ditch the guidelines and skim the skylines

G D

For an offering.

Bm A G

Reckless ways and fickle crazes

D Bm A

become yesterday's forgotten and abandoned,

G D

and lost along the way.

Em D A

The blindness is still blindness today.

[CHORUS]

G D

And it's a left hook to the right jaw,

A Bm

the wrong man and it's our fault,

G D A

and these wild eeeeyyyeeeesss.

And it's a good look at the last straw

A Bm

the bad girls, the sweet talk

and their wild eeeeyyyeeeesss, these wild eeeeyyyeeeesss.

Blindly get inside the wind

I'll admit we're still swinging away

Swing away.
