[Opening]
[F]Find table space to [Am]say your social graces
Bow your [F]head, they’re pious here, but [Am]you and I, we’re pioneers
We make our [F]own rules, our [Am]own room, no bias here [G]
[G]Let ’em sell what they are selling, there are no buyers here

[verse 2]
So [F]gather all the rebels now, we’ll [Am]rebel rouse and sing aloud
[F]We don’t care what they say no [Am]way, no way
[F]And we will leave the empty chairs to [Am]those who say we can’t sit there, [G]we’re fine all by ourselves

[chorus]
So [F]ay, we brought our drum and [Am]this is how we dance
No [F]mistaking, we make our breaks, if [Am]you don’t like our 808s
Then [F]leave us alone, cause [Am]we don’t need your policies, [G]we have no apologies for being…

[chorus]
[G]Find me where the [F]wild things are, (Oh my [Am]we’ll be alright, [F]don’t mind [Am]us, yeah)
[Am]Find me [G]where the [F]wild things are, (Oh my [Am]we’ll be just fine, [G]don’t mind us, yeah)
[G]Find me where the [F]wild things are

[verse 3]
[F]I lose my [Am]balance on these eggshells you [F]tell me to tread, I’d rather be a [Am]wild one instead
[F]Don’t wanna hang around the [Am]in crowd, the cool kids [G]
[G]Aren’t cool to me, they’re not cooler than we are

[Closing]
We will [Am]carve our place into [G]time and space
We will [F]find our way, or we’ll [C]make a way, say hey, hey, hey
Find you’re [Am]great, don’t you [G]hide your face, [F]and let it shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine
