  			D                                                        Bm  
Grey like new day leaks through the window  
                     G                              
And old soul song  
                       A                D 
Comes on the alarm clock radio.  
D                                                    Bm 
We walked the forty blocks to the middle  
           G                             A                          D  
Of the place we heard that everything would be  
                         G                     
And there were barricades  
      A                      D 
To keep us off the street 
             Bm                          G  
But the crowd kept pushing forward 
               Em                      A 
‘Til they swallowed the police 

                            
                           Em  
Yeah, they went wild 
                           G

D                                                      Bm  
We left before the dust had time to settle  
                  G                             A              D 
And all the broken glass swept off the avenue 
D                                                                    
And all the way home held your camera  
          Bm 
Like a bible 
              G                   A                           D  
Just 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  
You drop the paper in the water  
           Em               A 
And it all begins to bloom.  


	      Em  
Yeah, they go wild 
	      G 
Yeah, they go wild 
	      Em  
Yeah, they go wild 
	      Gm

D G Bm Em A  

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

	      Em  
Yeah, they go wild 
	      G 
Yeah, they go wild 
	      Em  
Yeah, they go wild 
	      G
