[Verse 1]
   Dm
In 1981
      Fmaj7
I was perfect for a month
        G6                                     Fmaj7
But the truth is it's been all down hill since then
              Dm
'Cause we did strange things to our bodies
          Fmaj7
And we forgot most of our studies
         G6                                    Am    Cm
And got all muddled up between our means an our ends
           Dm
Between forgiveness and permission
               Fmaj7
Oh we've got a crystal clear vision
            G6                                 Fmaj7
Of what we acutely choose to call the good old days
               Dm
But we've been scraping by our teeth
        Fmaj7
Through lives we didn't mean to lead
          G6                             Am
And I can barely tell you what I did yesterday
        G
Is it a Wednesday today?


[Chorus]
C/G            Dm               F
We're all just kids someone let loose
  Am       C/G
Into the world
             Dm           F
Waiting for someone to explain
    Am
The rules


[Verse 2]
             Dm
'Cause we're motherfuckers and we're pharisees
       F
And no longer all of a company
  G                                    F
Despite our attempts to keep up that pretence
       Dm
And we gave up on the cigarettes
          F
But we're still hooked on whimsical regrets
    G                                 Am             Cm
And wondering if it hangs like any of this makes any sense
    Dm
And Justin left Southampton
           F
And he got famous like I said
    G                                 F
And Adam, he got married and now he's happy down in Plumstead
    Dm
And Jay's a dad, and Tre's now back
    F
But Dave and Tommy, who knows?
     G                                 Am
They say he disappeared like Harps and Zo
                   G/B         G
But I saw him this one time in Mexico


[Chorus]
C/G             Dm              F
We're all just kids someone let loose
  Am       C/G
Into the world
             Dm           F
Waiting for someone to explain
     Am
The rules
           Am7/G
And that's all
          E                  F
Trying to find some kind of food
        D
In toy shops
           C/G
And got dispensed
              G               F          C/G   Am
Searching for subjects we are resurrectionists


[Bridge]
C/G  Dm
Resurrectionists
Am   F
Resurrectionists
      C/G  Dm
We're resurrectionists
Am   F
Resurrectionists

[Outro]
C/G           Dm
Searching for something that could
Am       F        C/G
Bring us back to life
              Dm
Searching for something that could
Am       F        C/G
Bring us back to life
      Dm       Am
We're all just kids
    F                C/G
Let loose into the world
   Dm        Am
Waiting for someone
  F              C/G
To explain the rules
  Dm   Am       F            C/G
Unsupervised, unhappy, and uncool
      Dm       Am     F
We're all just kids
           C/G
And that's all
