[Verse]
E                                 D
I was a wolf for so long, howlin' up toward the moon
    A                       E
I devoured the defenseless sheep-like balloons
                                        D
That were tied to a railing and would anyway soon 
     A         B
Be deflated
E                           D
I met you in between my carnivorous meals
          A                         E
And your hair was so soft and your body was real
                               D
And the layers of leaves blew away to reveal
A                B
A new pathway
E                                 D
Now I'm tryin' to hide my love away, be discrete
           A                          E
But you're a reason to change and end my violent streak
                          D                      A
A reason to be normal, a reason to bleat like a sheep

[Chorus]
B                   E
I just wanna be a sheep
                    B                     A
I just wanna be a sheep following right along with the crowds
    B                          A
A ballon with my head floating up through the clouds
     E                            D
And a little white string holding me to the ground
A                 B
Could that be you? It could be you
E D A
E                     D      A
I just wanna be a sheep
E         D          A       B  
Oh, well, da-di-da-di-da-da

[Verse]
          E                         D
Now the clock on the wall plays a sinister game
          A                    E
It treats every twelve hours exactly the same
                              D
And you cannot return and you can't get away
   A                B
It keeps going
E                                   D
And everything you've done you can never undo
      A                        E
So I know that it's useless to try and be new
                                   D
But when you keep your eye on me, steady and blue
A                       B
I keep trying anyways
        E                           D
And that eye watching me makes me not want to hurt
         A                     E
I don't want to draw anymore blood on your shirt
                                D
And I don't want to stay up and paw through the dirt
    A
I need sleep

[Chorus]
B                   E
I just wanna be a sheep
                    B                      A
I just wanna be a sheep and be gentle and docile and dumb
       B                          A
And to hear a voice call me and know I must come
      E                            D
And a shepherd to lead me and forget where I'm from
A                 B
Could that be you? It could be you
E  D  A 
      E     D    A
I just wanna be a sheep
E         D     A    B  
Oh, (howling)    Okay

[Verse]
E                             D
Yes, I am the one who's been killing the flock
   A                           E
I admit it and now that you're over the shock
                                   D
Would you take me and keep me and turn back the clock
           A
With your pretty little hand?

[Outro]
B                  E      D    A
I just wanna be a sheep
E               D         A    
I just I just wanna be a sheep
E     D      A  
Woo! (Howling)
B  A  E
