Verse:
C#sus2 Asus2
The sun lays low on a solemn city,
E
all i see is sexual red
C#sus2 Asus2
The last rays burst through between the train cars
E
and shine directly on my head
C#sus2 Bsus2
So come and find me in this moment
E Asus2
and expose a passionate man for what he is
E*
We'll cut loose our gold
C#5
'cause we need fire
B5 E
and only kindling can it buy
Asus2
Wildness is our treasure,
Bsus2
so boldly surrender
to me and to the night
Chorus x2 (Riff 2)
E Asus2 E Asus2
Oh yeah, Oh right!
C#sus2
On the lash
Asus2
and lashing out
E
It's evil's sway tonight
Intro riff
Verse2:
A candle's pulse is no companion
when all you see is sexual red
You burn away your dreams inside a journal
and leave those primal words unsaid
I'll run to find you in this moment
and expose a passionate women for what she is
We'll cut loose our gold
'cause we need fire
and only kindling can it buy
Wildness is our treasure,
so boldly surrender
to me and to the night
