Verse 1:]  (Palm muted)
G                                         Em
There's a humming in the restless summer air
D                                         Am
And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
G                 Em
But in all chaos, there is calculation
D                 Am
Dropping glasses just to hear them break
G                                                  Em
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't)
D                                                Am
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
G                       Em
It's clear that someone's gotta go
D                     Am
We mean it but I promise we're not mean

[Pre-Chorus:]
G            Em
And the cry goes out (HaaaHaaa)
D           Am
They lose their minds for us
G             Em
And how it plays out (HaaHaa)

Now we're in the ring
D                  Am
And we're coming for blood

[Chorus:]
G                   Em
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
D                   Am
But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)
G            Em
Everyone a rager (oh-oh)
D             Am
But secretly they're saviors
G              Em
Glory and gore go hand in hand
D              Am
That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)
G               Em
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
D               Am
But victory's contagious

[Verse 2:]     (Palm muted)
G                             Em
Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)
D                                     Am
God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old way)
G                             Em
Chance is the only game I play with, baby
D                  Am
We let our battles choose us

[Pre-Chorus]
G            Em
And the cry goes out (HaaaHaaa)
D           Am
They lose their minds for us
G             Em
And how it plays out (HaaHaa)

Now we're in the ring
D                  Am
And we're coming for blood

[Chorus]
G                   Em
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
D                   Am
But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)
G            Em
Everyone a rager (oh-oh)
D             Am
But secretly they're saviors
G              Em
Glory and gore go hand in hand
D              Am
That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)
G               Em
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
D               Am
But victory's contagious

[Bridge:]
G               Em         D               Am
No-one round here's good at keeping their eyes closed
G               Em         D               Am
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
G               Em         D               Am
Tired little laughs, gold-lie promises, we'll always win at this
G               Em         D               Am
I don't ever think about death
G               Em         D               Am
It's alright if you do, it's fine
G               Em         D               Am
We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
G               Em         D               Am
Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes
G               Em         D               Am
Wide awake in bed, words in my brain, 
G               Em         D               Am
"Secretly you love this do you even wanna go free?"
G               Em         D               Am
Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means

[Chorus]
G                   Em
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
D                   Am
But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)
G            Em
Everyone a rager (oh-oh)
D             Am
But secretly they're saviors
G              Em
Glory and gore go hand in hand
D              Am
That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)
G               Em
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
D               Am
But victory's contagious
