 F          Dm
Life after youth
           Gm
Faded in twilight
                A#
The dawn of a criminal in bloom
       F
First love
          Dm
First forgiveness
           A#
We were delinquants
             A#m
Freaks of a faded memory

Chorus:
F                 Dm
Outlaws, when we were forever young
             A#
When we were outlaws
       A#m
We're outlaws of redemption, baby
 F
Hooligans
        Dm
We destroyed suburbia
              A#
When we were outlaws
       A#m
We're Outlaws of forever, baby

Scars, broken hearts
Breaking in cars,
running in the light of the moon
Lost souls, bottle rockets
All that we wanted,
it's for our life beyond the stars

Chorus

F
I've got no supervision
Dm
Nothing will change my spirits
       A#
Race around with my innocence
I'll plead my innocence
A#m
But thats my best defense
When you are young

Chorus

F
I found a knife by the railroad track
Dm
You took a train and you can't go back
   A#           A#m              F
Forever now, forever now you'll roam
