[Verse 1]
D G D/A D G D/A
Long hair and longer stride
Bm G D/A Bm G D/A
Skateboard affair with the primal tribe
D G D/A D G D/A
And your cut-off painter pants
Bm G D/A Bm G A
Chargin down the craggy mountains, with our thrift-store friends
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m G D F#m Bm
And who you find so, so in love with the falling earth
F#m G A D G D/A
Who you wake in the middle of the fallin' night with summer playing coy
[Verse 2]
D G D/A D G D
And In the attics of the city night
D G D/A Bm
We talked corso and the M.C. five
G D Bm G A Bm
And you could dance like, we were all alright
[Chorus 1]
F#m G D F#m Bm
Only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
F#m G A Bm
Oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
F#m G D F#m Bm
Only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
F#m G A D G D/A D G D/A Bm G D/A Bm G D/A
Stars are up now, no place to go, but everywhere
[Verse 3]
D G D/A D G D
One I met in the green mountain state
Bm G D/A Bm G D/A
I dropped out, and he moved away
D G D/A D G D/A
Heard he got some land down south
Bm G D/A Bm G A
Changed his name to a name the birds could pronounce
[Chorus 2]
Bm F#m G D F#m Bm
And only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
F#m G A Bm
Oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
F#m G D F#m Bm
Only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
F#m G A D G D/A D G D/A Bm G D/A
Stars are up now, no place to go, but everywhere
Bm G D/A D G D/A D G D/A Bm G D/A Bm G D/A
(No place to go but everywhere)
[Verse 4]
D G D/A D G D/A
And in the city the mayor said
Bm G D/A Bm G D/A
Those who dance are all mislead
D G D/A D G D/A
So you packed your things and moved to the other coast
Bm G D/A Bm G A
Said you gonna be like Charlie Rose
[Chorus 3]
F#m G D F#m Bm
Only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
F#m G A Bm
Oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
F#m G D F#m Bm
Only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
F#m G A Bm
Stars are up now, no place to go, but everywhere
[Interlude]

[Chorus 4]
F#m G D F#m Bm
Only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
F#m G A Bm
Oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air

Only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
F#m G A D G D/A D
Stars are up now, no place to go, but anywhere
