INTRO: C F Am G x2
VERSE:
C F Am
The cuts I often wear; I wish they weren't there
G C
I do what I am told; come in from the cold
C F Am
The laws they get me down; I want to ditch this town
G C
But when I see you near it all becomes so clear
CHORUS:
F Am G
Sometimes I feel so mild, child
C F Am
You make me wanna be wild
G C
Child, you make me wanna be wild
SOLO 1: C F Am G x2
VERSE:
There was a wish I made; To burn before I fade
And go out with a bang; Be a bell that rang
And so it is I feel; It's not so bad to steal the lime light once in a while
Just to make you smile
CHORUS:
'Times I feel so mild, child
You make me wanna be wild
Child, you make me wanna be wild
SOLO 2: C F Am G x2
BRIDGE:
Am F C G
There the brother ravagers are at your railings
Am F C G
Welcome all the savages and claim their failings
Am F C G
This could be the final chance to stop our sinking
Am F C G
Join me in a loving dance, we'll stop our faking
VERSE:
The fire, the fire; I'm a furnace roarin'
I'm a rocket soarin'; Let me take your hand
Light the light; You are the air that feeds me
You're the road that leads me to the promised land
Don't let your sun set down on me
I need your golden rays
SOLO 3: C F Am G x2
VERSE:
There was a wish I made; To burn before I fade
And go out with a bang; Be a bell that rang
I found it in your face; A very sacred space
I'm gonna light that fuse; Lord I found my muse
CHORUS:
Sometimes I feel so mild, child
You make me wanna be wild
Child, you make me wanna be wild
***Some of the lyrics are a little hard to decipher, so I did the best I could... sorry!
