Verse 
       G              C                    G 
We are bitter losers, snarling through our smiles 
          Em                C           D 
We're the lost boys, in the supermarket isles 
      C                             D 
We're Christmas dogs, dumped by the side of the road 
G                         Em 
Confused, we will run for miles 
       G 
We are road rage 
      C 
We are stone age 
     G 
We are wild 
       G              C                    G 
We are busted light bulbs, in a backstreet neon sign 
          Em                C           D 
We're the shaking gun, in a service station line 
      C 
We'll drink though we're drunk, 
      D 
We'll sink though we've sunk 
     G                              Em 
We're fucked but we say that we're fine 
G 
We are rampage, 
C                          G 
Missing back pages in our spine 

      C                        G    D 
We long, for journeys and the roadside 
      C                        G    D 
We long, for starlight and the low tide 
      C                        G    D 
Yeah, we long, for fairy tales and fire sides 
    G 
And oh. 

Instrumental 
G   C   D 

    G 
We are coffeehouse cynics, 
    C                       G 
Too righteous, too rigid to believe 
    Em 
Disappointed romantics, 
C                            D 
Scraping the hearts from our sleeves 
          C 
We're the toothless drunk, 
          D 
We're the aging punk 
             G 
Yeah, we are Adam, 
                          Em 
We're the apple and we're Eve 
C                         C               G 
We are beggars with shiny pennies, on our knees 

      C                        G    D 
We long, for sunlight on the hillsides 
          C                        G    D 
Yeah, we long, for yesterdays and hindsight 
      C                        G    D 
Oh, we long, for fairy tales and fire sides 
    G 
And oh. 
 
        C                        G    D 
Yeah we long for carnivals and fairground rides 
       C                        G    D 
Oh, we long for journeys and the roadsides 
        C                        G    D 
Oh, we long for fairy tales and fire sides 
    G 
And oh.
