  Childhood living is easy to do

  Graceless lady, you know who I am, 
Am                Em      G                 D 
  You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Couldn't drag me away...

I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain

Now you decided to show me the same 
Bm          G     Bm         G 
No sweeping exits or offstage lines,

Can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie, 
Am               Em   G                D 
I have my freedom but I don't have much time 
Bm            G       Bm            G 
Faith has been broken tears must be cried, 
Am           Em     G           D 
Let's do some living after we die 

Am   Em 
Wild Horses, 
G       D         Am

We'll ride them someday

We'll ride them someday
