Verse:
AbFm There's a humming in the restless summer air
CmEb And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
AbFm But in all chaos, there is calculation
CmEb Dropping glasses just to hear them break
AbFm You've been drinking like the world was gonna end -it didn't-
CmEb Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend -go figure-
AbFm It's clear that someone's gotta go
CmEb We mean it, but I promise we're not mean
Pre-Chorus:
AbFmCm And the cry goes out
Eb They lose their minds for us
AbFm And how it plays out
Cm Now we're in the ring
Eb And we're coming for blood
Chorus:
Ab You could try and take us
Fm But we're the gladiators
Ab Everyone a rager
Fm But secretly they're saviors
AbFmCm Glory and gore go hand in hand
EbAb That's why we're making headlines
FmCm You could try and take us
Eb But victory's contagious
Verse:
AbFm Delicate in every way but one -the swordplay-
CmEb God knows we like archaic kinds of fun -the old way-
AbFm Chance is the only game I play with, baby
CmEb We let our battles choose us
Pre-Chorus:
AbFmCm And the cry goes out
Eb They lose their minds for us
AbFm And how it plays out
Cm Now we're in the ring
Eb And we're coming for blood
Chorus:
Ab You could try and take us
Fm But we're the gladiators
Ab Everyone a rager
Fm But secretly they're saviors
AbFmCm Glory and gore go hand in hand
EbAb That's why we're making headlines
FmCm You could try and take us
Eb But victory's contagious
Bridge:
AbFmCm No-one 'round here's good at keeping their eyes closed
AbFmCm The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
AbFmCm Tired little laughs, gold lie promises, we'll always win at this
AbFm I don't ever think about death
CmEb It's alright if you do, it's fine
AbFmCm We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
AbFmCm Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes
AbFmCm Wide awake in bed, words in my brain, "Secretly you love this
FmCm Do you even wanna go free?"
Fm Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means
Chorus:
Ab You could try and take us
Fm But we're the gladiators
Ab Everyone a rager
Fm But secretly they're saviors
AbFmCm Glory and gore go hand in hand
EbAb That's why we're making headlines
FmCm You could try and take us
Eb But victory's contagious
