Chord Rhys Lewis – What Wild Things Were
[INTRO:]
F
[VERSE:]
Dm F Am
I still remember the turn
G
of the leaves
Dm F
And the first signs of blossom
Am G
on our cherry trees
Dm F
And I still hear rivers
Am G
from old memories
Dm F
I still dare at starlight,
Am G
but only in dreams
[CHORUS:]
Dm F
'Cause we brooooke the
Am G
home that we had
Dm F
And there's nooooo,
Am G
there's no going back
Dm
To when things were alive
F
And blue could describe
Am
The colour the sky was
G
before it burned
Dm
When we still woke up to
F Am G
the sound of the birds
Dm
How we didn't have to wonder
F Am G
what wild things were
[VERSE:]
Dm F
I'm scared of forgetting
Am G
how things used to be
Dm F
Like the days we could lay
Am G
down on grass that was green
Dm F
And I miss how the winter
Am G
once painted these streets
Dm F
And the sound that the snow
Am G
made under my feet
[CHORUS:]
Dm F
'Cause we brooooke the
Am G
home that we had
Dm F
And there's nooooo,
Am G
there's no going back
Dm
To when things were alive
F
And blue could describe
Am
The colour the sky was
G
before it burned
Dm
When we still woke up to
F Am G
the sound of the birds
Dm
How we didn't have to wonder
F Am G
what wild things were
Dm
When we still woke up to
F Am G
the sound of the birds,
Dm
And we didn't have to wonder
F Am
what wild things were
[BREAK:]
G Am F
Well, if I have a daughter
G Am F
how will I ever tell her
G Am F
The ghosts that came before her
F Am G
Just broke the home that she has
F
And there's no,
Am G
there's no going back
[CHORUS:]
Dm
So when things were alive
F
And blue could describe
Am
The colour the sky was
G
before it burned
Dm
How she'll never wake up to
F Am G
the sound of the birds
Dm
'Cause she's always going to
F Am G
wonder what wild things were
Dm
How she'll never wake up to
F Am G
the sound of the birds
Dm
'Cause she's always going to wonder
F Am G Dm F
what wild things weeeeeeeeeeeere
[OUTRO:]
Am G Dm F Am G
Dm F
She's always gonna wonder
Am G
She's never gonna know
Dm F
She's always gonna wonder
Am G
She's never gonna know
Dm F Am G
What wild things were
Dm F
What wild things were
Am G F
What wild things, wild things were
