Chords:
Verse:
[Em]Sometimes I don’t [D]even move a [Em]muscle[D]
[Em]Baby when you [D]lie awake at [Em]night[D]
[Em]I think I’ve got nine [D]lives in these cor[Em]puscles[D]
[Em]Cause girl, you know some[D]times I don’t think r[Em]ight[D]
Pre-Chorus:
[A]I hear voices in the h[G]all
I wake up and it’s nothing at a[A]ll
A hungry wolf, or an agry c[G]hild
Chorus:
Or something [Em]wild[D]
Something [Em]wild[D]
Something [Em]wild - tell me [D]love is
Something [Em]wild - tell me [D]love is
Verse:
It’s not as if we could think that things were one way
And they would all just be that way right now
When I was a kid I thought that someday
I could tame this lion heart, some way, somehow
Pre-Chorus:
Now I’m hungry for the love
That doesn’t know what it’s dreamin’ of
Raging for the meek and mild
Chorus:
Like something wild
Something wild
Something wild - tell me love is
Something [Em]wild - tell me [D]love is[A]
Bridge:
[A]There’s a hole where the wind blows [G]through
And some curtains [A]hung
But I can’t hid a thing from [G]you
You [B]know where I come from
(Solo 4 bars)
Final Verse: (Lead only, no Rhythm)
Well I tried getting there under my own steam
’til my very last chance was shot
Now you’re under my skin like a submarine
I can feel you in my veins running hot
Now if it’s more than a new pair of jeans, a new car, some pocket money
And a place to go
Then we better get up and scream at the top of our lungs like it
Was gonna die if we didn’t make it so
Pre-Chorus:
I hear voices in the hall
I wake up and it’s nothing at all
An angry wolf, or a hungry child
Chorus:
Or something wild
Something wild
Something wild - tell me love is
Something wild - tell me love is
Outro:
Something [Em]wild[D]
Something [Em]wild[D]
Something [Em]wild[D]
