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