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 

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 

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?
