[Intro]
E Em x2

[Verse]
               E
It came in a flash
               Em
It came out of nowhere
               E
It happened so fast
                Em
And then it was over

[Pre-Chorus]
A
Are you thinking what
I’m thinking?
                   B
Is this happening now?
A
Are you feeling what
I’m feeling?
                   B
This is happening now

[Chorus]
E
We’re all free to some degree
                           A
To dance under the lights
Bm
I’m just waiting to be rescued
A
Bring me back to life
E
Kings and queens and
in-betweens
                          A
We all deserve the right
Bm
I’m just waiting to be rescued

I’m just waiting to be rescued

We’re all just waiting
to be rescued
    E
tonight

[Instrument]
E

[Verse]
E
I fell in a trap

My hеart’s getting colder

It’s coming on fast

It’s over my shouldеr

[Pre-Chorus]
A
Are you thinking what
 I’m thinking?
                   B
Is this happening now?
A
Are you feeling what
 I’m feeling?
                   B
This is happening now

[Chorus]
E
We’re all free to some degree
                           A
To dance under the lights
Bm
I’m just waiting to be rescued
A
Bring me back to life
E
Kings and queens and
 in-betweens
                          A
We all deserve the right

I’m just waiting to be rescued

I’m just waiting to be rescued

We’re all just waiting
 to be rescued

How to play Rescued: key, chords and progression

These are Rescued chords by Foo Fighters on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Rescued by Foo Fighters is built around B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 8 chords in all: E, Em, A, B, Bm, F#m, G and F#.

Listen for A – E – F# – G (VII – IV – V – VI in B minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, Dm, G, A, Am, Em, F, E (88% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
