[Intro]
Em   G   Bm   D   x4
 
[Verse 1]
   Em         G           Bm          D
We follow the tail lights out of the city
Em          G        Bm    D
Moving in a river of red
       Em     G                  Bm    D
As the colors fade away from the dusky sunset
   Em            G          Bm
We roll for the darkness ahead
 
[Chorus]
       Em           G            Bm         D
We are old, we are young, we are in this together
Em            G         Bm           D
Vagabonds and children, prisoners forever
     Em        G         Bm            D
With pulses a-raging and eyes full of wonder
Em          G          Bm
Kicking out behind us again
 
[Interlude]

Em   G   Bm
 
[Verse 2]
Em          G              Bm        D
Night time, city beat, the radio is calling
    Em       G         Bm
The lost and lonely in vain
    Em          G               Bm        D
Out here we are running for the wide open spaces
    Em         G         Bm
The road smell after the rain
 
[Chorus]
       Em           G            Bm         D
We are old, we are young, we are in this together
Em            G         Bm
Vagabonds and children, prisoners forever
     Em        G         Bm            D
With pulses a-raging and eyes full of wonder
Em          G          Bm
Kicking out behind us again
 
[Bridge]
    G             A    Bm
And watching as a boy alone at the quayside
    G             A            Bm
The ships loading cargo in the night
      G          A         Bm
Their names all calling to faraway places
   G                   F#m
The years go past, the miles go by
    A                    B
And still this childhood romance will not die
