verse 1
A
When you catch the light
D
You look like your mother
A Em7
It crushes me some,
Fmaj7
Just right from the side
A
When you catch the light
G Em7
There's a flash of wild creatures,
Fmaj7/G
Before the Stone Age of the preachers,
G
And the husbands, and the wives
verse 2
A
When you catch the light
D
The flood changes direction,
A Em7
And darkens the lens
Fmaj7
That projects my disguise
A
As you fight along-side,
G Em7
You'll discover my weakness
Fmaj7/G
I'm not fighting for your freedom,
G
I am fighting to be wild.
[Refrão]E Cmaj7
"Hey, little girl, would you like to be
E G
The king's pet or the king?"
Bm Cmaj7
"I'd choose odorless and invisible,
G Cmaj7
But otherwise I would choose the king.
G D C
Even though it sounds the loneliest...
G D C
And my brother's hands would poison me."
