Verse
Em D
Life was gray when I grew up.
Am Em
Everyone around me seemed stuck,
Em D
Like all their dreams had broke on them,
Am Em
And opportunities all closed on them.

I couldn't let it suffocate me.
D
Oh oh
Chorus

I'm a wild child.

I fell in love with the wild fire.
Am Em
To live fast and to die young!

To break away, hallelujah!

Wham bam boom, run right through ya.

I got doped up, and away I flew.

I hit the streets, and I hit the juice.
Am Em
I rock-and-rolled and let all hell break loose.

All of these stories, they end the same.

And now I'm worse off than what I tried to escape.

But when the surge of action comes,

I can't help myself.

I love nothing else.
