[Verse 1]
C F C/G C F C/G
Long hair and longer stride
Am F C/G Am F C/G
Skateboard affair with the primal tribe
C F C/G C F C/G
And your cut-off painter pants
Am F C/G Am F G
Chargin down the craggy mountains, with our thrift-store friends
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em F C Em Am
And who you find so, so in love with the falling earth
Em F G C F C/G
Who you wake in the middle of the fallin' night with summer playing coy
[Verse 2]
C F C/G C F C
And In the attics of the city night
C F C/G Am
We talked corso and the M.C. five
F C Am F G Am
And you could dance like, we were all alright
[Chorus 1]

Only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
Em F G Am
Oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
Em F C Em Am
Only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch

One I met in the green mountain state
Am F C/G Am F C/G
I dropped out, and he moved away
C F C/G C F C/G
Heard he got some land down south
Am F C/G Am F G
Changed his name to a name the birds could pronounce
[Chorus 2]

And only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back

And in the city the mayor said

Those who dance are all mislead

So you packed your things and moved to the other coast

Said you gonna be like Charlie Rose
[Chorus 3]

Only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
Em F G Am
Oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air

Stars are up now, no place to go, but everywhere
