G                   D
Feet don't fail me now
 G                     D
Take me to the finish line
                   C                       Em
All my heart, it breaks every step that I take
                         D
But I'm hoping that the gates,
They'll tell me that you're mine

Walking through the city streets,
is it by mistake or design?
I feel so alone on a Friday night
Can you make it feel like home,
if I tell you you're mine?
It's like I told you, honey ("Louder!")

C              Em                  D
Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
                        Cmaj7
Sometimes love is not enough when
the road gets tough
               C
I don't know why
                Em
Keep making me laugh,
              D
Let's go get high
                     Cmaj7
Road's long, we carry on
                            C
Try to have fun in the meantime

Chorus:
                                  Em
Come and take a walk on the wild side
                                     D
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
                      Cmaj7
You like your girls insane
C                 Em
Choose your last words
                  D
This is the last time
              C
Cause you and I, we were born to die

Lost, but now I am found
I can see that once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Tried to take what I could get,
scared that I couldn't find
All the answers I need ("Louder!")

Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and
the road gets tough
I don't know why
Keep making me laugh—let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Chorus

C Em                 D Cmaj7
    We were born to die
                    Em
    We were born to die

Am                                Em
Come and take a walk on the wild side
                                     D
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane

So don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and
the road gets tough
I don't know why
Keep making me laugh—let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Chorus

We were born to die
We were born to die
