Em              G 
  I am the wolf   without a pack 
B                   Em 
  Banished so long ago 
              G              B 
I've survived   on another’s kill 
                 Em 
And on my shadow home 



G        B               Em 
All I've learned is that poison will sting 
G        B                    Em 
No one remembers the names of martyrs or kings 
G                B       Em 
No one remembers much of anything 
G              B          Em 
That came this way before  


Em            G 
I am the wolf   combing the beach 
B                   Em 
  Too hungry to shy away 
               G 
The carcass of a leviathan 
B                   Em 
Sways gently on the waves 

  
G           B           Em 
I hope this shelter is enough to keep me warm 
G            B               Em 
Upstairs the heaven's giving birth to winter's storm 
G             B               Em 
But I've been dying since the day I was born 
G           B        Em 
That much I know is true 

Instrumental

G B Em 


Em            G 
I am the wolf   high, wild and free 
B                Em 
  A picture on a shelf 
                  G 
I burn this house   down to the ashes 
B              Em 
  A law unto myself 


G        B               Em 
All I've learned is that poison will sting 
G        B                    Em 
No one remembers the names of martyrs or kings 
G                        B  Em 
No one remembers much of anything 
G              B     Em 
That came this way before 
G              B     Em    G B  
That came this way before
