The Mad Ones - The Mad Ones Chords

When N.C. all instuments are silent
 
[Intro]
[KELLY]
N.C.
Tell me the part about the candles
 
[SAM]
N.C.
Uh...
 
[KELLY]
N.C.
Do not pretend you don't have it memorized
 
[SAM, spoken]
N.C.
The only ones for me are the mad ones.
G
Mad to talk, mad to be saved
G
Desirous of everything at the same time
 
[KELLY]
G
If we’re gonna go, we gotta go tonight...
 
[SAM, spoken]
G
The ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing
G
But burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles
G
Exploding like spiders across the stars...
 
 
[Chorus]
[KELLY]
C
Oh...  If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight
C                  C
Go tonight - Go tonight - I'm in!
 
 
[SAM, spoken]
     D
For what?
 
 
[Verse 1]
[KELLY]
                  Em   C
We’re taking the risk
           D             Em           C
We're the fools who will never learn
 D            Em                C
Pushed to the edge, out on the ledge
                    Em                 N.C.
Will you die out or burn, burn, burn?
                 Em    C
Don't ask if you can
                 F          D
No, that's a mistake girls make
              D   Em   C
'Cause those good old boys
                D   Em   F
They had their good old days
D                  Em
- But now they're gone
               G
And now their world
            F
Is ours to take...
       D     Em
We're mad to go
 D      Em
Mad to drive
 D          Em
Mad to be alive
       D       Em
We're chasing stars
   D        Em
A thousand suns
     C      D
The mad... mad ones

To reach for more
 
[KELLY]
        Em
We make -- the rules
          Em          D
We make - a vow to be mad
N.C.
Girl, we’re what matter now
A
Okay, first thing’s first:
     A
You have to go tell that TA I'm not coming back

If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight
 
 
[Interlude]
[KELLY, spoken]
N.C.
Where are my keys?
 
[SAM, spoken]
N.C.
Just calm down, there's planning involved.
N.C.
What are we living on?
N.C.
Who’s paying our cell phone bills?
 
 
[KELLY, spoken]
N.C.
Well, A...
 
[SAM, spoken]
N.C.
Kelly!
 
 
[KELLY]

Go tonight - go tonight

You're drunk!
 
 
[KELLY]
E
You're drunk!
E
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight
E            E
Go tonight - go tonight
 
 
[SAM, spoken]
E
I am drunk, and I only have a permit! We can't
 
 
[KELLY, spoken]
 E
Stop saying 'can't'
 
 
[SAM, spoken]
 E
Stop telling me what to do!
 
 
[KELLY]
E
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight
E
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight
 
 
[SAM]
E
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight

Go tonight - go tonight...
