D Bm 
Grey like new day leaks through the window 
G A D 
and some old song comes on the alarm clock radio. 
D Bm
We walk the forty blocks to the middle 
G A D 
of the place we heard where everything would be 
G A D 
and there were barracades to keep us off the street, 
Bm G Em A
but the crowd kept pushing forward until they swallowed the police. 
Em 
Yeah, they went wild.
G
Yeah, they went wild.
Em 
Yeah, they went wild.
G
Yeah, they went wild.

D Bm 
We left before the dust had time to settle 
G A D
and all the broken glass swept off the avenue. 
D Bm
On the way home I held your camera like a bible, 
G A D 
wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth. 
G A D
And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room, 
Bm G Em A 
you dropped the paper in the water and it all begins to bloom. 

Em 
Yeah, they went wild.
G
Yeah, they went wild.
Em 
Yeah, they went wild.
G
Yeah, they went wild.

G A D
Just when I get so lonesome I can't speak, 
Bm G Em A
I see some flowers on a hill side, like a wall of new TVs. 

Em 
Yeah, they went wild.
G
Yeah, they went wild.
Em 
Yeah, they went wild.
G
Yeah, they went wild.
D
Yeah, they went wild.
Em
Yeah, they went wild.
G
Yeah, they went wild.
Em
Yeah, they went wild.
