[Intro]
Em D C Em D C
[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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
G D C Em D C
We were the lucky ones
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
[Chorus]
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
Em D C
We were the lucky ones
Em D C (Repeat until fades out)
We were the lucky ones
