Intro

Verse 1
Em
We were the drifters, jokers
D                  C
Somebody you just saw in the hallway
         Em                           D
Got our kicks between class spittin' dip talkin' trash
          C
Breaking rules and making bad grades
Em                  D
Taking the long way home
                   C
With the three six up and the windows down
Em                  D
We didn't know back then
                 C
But I sure know now
Chorus
             G                            D
We were the lucky ones, Raised up to be fighters
             Em                        D                  C
Swinging at everything, that we could see through hungry eyes
            G                                  D
We were the lucky ones, Hell bent and full of fire
               Em                D                C
Giving it everything we had, to keep our dreams alive
         Em               D                C
We were poor and we were wild and we were young
             G
We were the lucky ones
Verse 2
Em       
Between the blood and the sweat
            D
Calloused hands, you can bet
         C
Working hard is all we had ever known
                Em
And all of the girls and the cars
        D
Busted lips, broken hearts
       C
Came alive out on those back roads
        Em                  D
Just a bunch of small town kids
              C
Looking for trouble when the sun went down
     Em                  D                C
The best nights of our lives was all we found
Chorus
             G                            D
We were the lucky ones, Raised up to be fighters
             Em                        D                  C
Swinging at everything, that we could see through hungry eyes
            G                                  D
We were the lucky ones, Hell bent and full of fire
               Em                D                C
Giving it everything we had, to keep our dreams alive
             G            D    C    Em   D   C
We were the lucky ones
         Em               D                C
We were poor and we were wild and we were young
        Em               D           C
And it made me into the man I have become
Bridge 
  Em (Strum once)
'Cause I was a lucky one
                    D (Strum once)
Raised up to be a fighter
Swinging at everything
                                  C (Strum once)
That we could see through hungry eyes
Chorus
            G                                  D
We were the lucky ones, Hell bent and full of fire
               Em                D                C
Giving it everything we had, to keep our dreams alive
         Em               D                C
We were poor and we were wild and we were young
             Em        D     C
We were the lucky ones
             Em        D     C    (Repeat until fades out)
We were the lucky ones
