verse 1 

Em 
We were the drifters, jokers 
D                  C 
Somebody you just saw in the hallway 
         Em                           D 
Got our kicks between class spittin' dip talkin' trash 
          C 
Breaking rules and making bad grades 
Em                  D 
Taking the long way home 
                   C 
With the three six up and the windows down 
Em                  D 
We didn't know back then 
                 C 
But I sure know now

             G                            D 
We were the lucky ones, Raised up to be fighters 
             Em                        D                  C 
Swinging at everything, that we could see through hungry eyes 
            G                                  D 
We were the lucky ones, Hell bent and full of fire 
               Em                D                C 
Giving it everything we had, to keep our dreams alive 
         Em               D                C 
We were poor and we were wild and we were young 
             G 
We were the lucky ones 

verse 2 

Em        
Between the blood and the sweat 
            D 
Calloused hands, you can bet 
         C 
Working hard is all we had ever known 
                Em 
And all of the girls and the cars 
        D 
Busted lips, broken hearts 
       C 
Came alive out on those back roads 
        Em                  D 
Just a bunch of small town kids 
              C 
Looking for trouble when the sun went down 
     Em                  D                C 
The best nights of our lives was all we found

Swinging at everything, that we could see through hungry eyes 
            G                                  D

         Em               D                C 
We were poor and we were wild and we were young 
        Em               D           C 
And it made me into the man I have become 


Bridge  

  Em (Strum once) 
'Cause I was a lucky one 
                    D (Strum once) 
Raised up to be a fighter 

Swinging at everything 
                                  C (Strum once) 
That we could see through hungry eyes
