D      

[Verse 1]

D                                    A7
My wild child, your night light's on, You're in your mild depths, 

            D   
The moon is on the lawn.  Just make your friends 

                         A7                             D         G
While you're still young, Before you can't seen Through anyone 

[Chorus]

G                           D               G
And if you're trick-riding in the rain, 

G                                         A7               D
Don't expect me to watch and don't ask me to explain. 

[Verse 2]

D
I'll be your friend, your last refuge, 

A7                        D
When things get weird And weird breaks huge. 

D
I'll stroke your hair, I'll dry your cheeks 

A7                     D               G
When failures come And no one speaks, 

[Chorus]

G                                             D
But if you're on a horse, Trick-riding in the mud and rain, 

G                                       A7            
You can't expect me to watch  Or ask me to explain. 

{Interlude]

D       A7        D

[Chorus]

G                                         D
If you're on a horse, Trick-riding in the mud and rain, 

G                                A7           
Don't make me watch Don't ask me to explain

{Outro]

G   A7           G   A7    
Ahhhhhh....     Ahhhhhh....
