Intro
Can't believe I'm still (C) here, with the morning so (G) near
And last night so un(D)clear
I see a trembling (C) hand, and a gold wedding (G) band
Wonder where do I (D) stand
When the wild life be(D)trays me, (C) and I'm too far from (G) home
Will you be there to (D) save me
And (G) shelter my heart till I'm (C) strong
Or will you just hang up the (G) phone
All my crazy old (C) lies, and my worn out dis(G)guise
Turns to tears in your (D) eyes
What a fool I have (C) been, there's no way I can (G) win,
Unless you take me back (D) in
When the wild life be(D)trays me, (C) and I'm too far from (G) home
Will you be there to (D) save me
And (G) shelter my heart till I'm (C) strong
Or will you just hang up the (G) phone
Solo
When the wild life be(D)trays me, And I'm too far from (G) home
Will you be there to (D) save me
And (G) shelter my heart till I'm (C) strong
Or will you just hang up the (G) phone
