Verse:

D                              Em Bm A
Looking out at a town called Suburbia
                                 Bm F#m 
Everybody's just fighting to fit in
G                                 D
Little rats running mazes, having babies
               G      A
It's a vicious little world that we live in
D                              Em Bm A
Looking back at a life on the other side
                             Bm F#m
I realize that I didn't fit in
G                                  D
Didn't hate it but I didn't quite relate it
               G      A
To my precious little world

Chorus:

D                      Em  Bm  A
Long live the reckless and the brave
                Bm    F#m G
I don't think I wanna be saved
   D            G    A
My song has not been sung
    D                            Em   Bm   A
And long live the fast times, so come what may
                           Bm   F#m G
I don't think I'll ever be saved
    D            G    A
Our song has not been sung
              G
Long live us

Verse:

D                               Em Bm A
Breaking out of a town called Suburbia
                               Bm  F#m 
I remember everybody always saying
        G                         D
"Little brat, must be crazy, never make it
               G      A
In our vicious little world"

Still I'm leaving
D                               Em Bm A
Got a van, got a chance, got my dignity
                                  Bm    F#m G
Got a dream, got a spark, got somewhere to be
                       D
Take a breath, say goodbye
                  G      A
To their precious little world

(And say goodbye to me)

Chorus:

D                         Em  Bm  A
So long live the reckless and the brave
                Bm    F#m G
I don't think I wanna be saved
   D            G    A
My song has not been sung
    D                            Em   Bm   A
And long live the fast times, so come what may
                           Bm   F#m G
I don't think I'll ever be saved
    D            G    A
Our song has not been sung
            Bm   A   G   A
Long live us
