[Intro] Dm  C  Bb

     Bb       Gm       Dm          F
When all are dizzy and happy from too much wine
   Bb        Gm      Dm   F
I leave the party behind
    Bb    Gm            Dm                F
To walk alone with my thoughts and this spinning mind
  Bb          Gm        
Through this cold night
 A
But there she stands

        Dm         Am
And she walks like you
          Dm           Am
And she smiles almost like you
    F           C              G4  G 
A child of the wild just like you

(Yes)

( Dm  C  Bb )

 Bb   Gm         Dm      F
For a second, I think I get a glimpse
Bb      Gm         Dm  F
Of the real her behind
       Bb        Gm          Dm                F
She's warm and fragile with smiles that reach to her eyes
     Bb        Gm        
For just this moment
    A
A change so sublime

Bb    C     Dm               C             Bb          
If   she'd looked me deep into my eyes and softly asked me to
Bb    C   Dm             C                 Bb               
I'd   be  in her bed and in her flesh and waste the life I knew
Bb   C   Dm                   C                Bb          
So   I   hold my breath and close my eyes and focus on the wine
Bb   C    Dm               C             Bb          
Let this trembling moment pass us by, so I could say goodnight

     Bb      Gm         Dm      F
But then, an impulse, I almost touch her face
   Bb     Gm           Dm   F
Before I pull back my hand.
    Bb      Gm          Dm             F
And we get nervous, we laugh and she spills her wine
 Bb     Gm     
Both so awkward
      A
For what's on our mind

         Dm         Am
And she talks like you
          Dm           Am
And she smells almost like you
    F           C              G4  G 
A child of the wild just like you
           Dm     Am
But she's not all   you
       Dm            Am
Even strives not to be you
      F          C           G4  G 
Just like every sister would do

       Gm             Dm
And perhaps it's the want
         Gm           Dm
Or that you’re in her eyes
       F             C           G4  G
But I want her this one single time
(Just this one time)

( Dm   C    Bb )

Bb    C     Dm               C             Bb          
If   she'd looked me deep into my eyes and softly asked me to
Bb    C   Dm             C                 Bb               
I'd   be  in her bed and in her flesh and waste the life I knew
Bb   C   Dm                   C                Bb          
So   I   hold my breath and close my eyes and focus on the wine
Bb   C    Dm               C               Bb          
Let this trembling moment pass us by, and then we'll say goodnight

    Dm             C               Bb        
And if I'd look into her eyes and softly asked her to
Bb  C     Dm                C                  Bb        
She would give herself and give her flesh, and waste the life she knew
Bb   C    Dm                     C                 Bb        
So   we   hold our breaths and close our eyes and take a sip of wine
Bb    C   Dm                C                                      
But this thirst has emptied every glass,
    Bb              Gm   
and we should say goodnight
                     Dm
God, help me say goodnight
