INTRO: C F Am G x2

VERSE:
C (x32010@1)              F (133211@1)                       Am (x02210@1)            
The cuts I often wear; I wish they weren't there
               G (320003@1)                    C (x32010@1)                   
I do what I am told; come in from the cold
C (x32010@1)                  F (133211@1)                        Am (x02210@1)              
The laws they get me down; I want to ditch this town
                   G (320003@1)                    C (x32010@1)                
But when I see you near it all becomes so clear

CHORUS:
F (133211@1)                 Am (x02210@1)  G (320003@1)                                 
Sometimes I feel so mild, child
                     C (x32010@1)  F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1)            
You make me wanna be wild
G (320003@1)                         C (x32010@1)           
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 (x02210@1)              F (133211@1)          C (x32010@1)     G (320003@1)                            
There the brother ravagers are at your railings
Am (x02210@1)            F (133211@1)         C (x32010@1)         G (320003@1)                             
Welcome all the savages and claim their failings
Am (x02210@1)              F (133211@1)             C (x32010@1)      G (320003@1)                           
This could be the final chance to stop our sinking
Am (x02210@1)         F (133211@1)                 C (x32010@1)      G (320003@1)                          
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!
