Wild Creatures

	  		
verse 1 

        A 
When you catch the light 
                   D 
You look like your mother 
   A              Em7 
It crushes me some, 
                    Fmaj7 
Just right from the side 
         A 
When you catch the light 
                        G     Em7 
There's a flash of wild creatures, 
           Fmaj7/G 
Before the Stone Age of the preachers, 
                          G 
And the husbands, and the wives 


verse 2 

     A 
When you catch the light 
                     D 
The flood changes direction, 
    A                Em7 
And darkens the lens 
                  Fmaj7 
That projects my disguise 
       A 
As you fight along-side, 
                   G     Em7 
You'll discover my weakness 
        Fmaj7/G 
I'm not fighting for your freedom, 
                    G 
I am fighting to be wild. 


E                            Cmaj7 
"Hey, little girl, would you like to be 
    E                 G 
The king's pet or the king?" 
            Bm           Cmaj7 
"I'd choose odorless and invisible, 
    G                            Cmaj7 
But otherwise I would choose the king. 
     G         D          C 
Even though it sounds the loneliest... 
       G         D           C 
And my brother's hands would poison me."

"Hey, little girl, would you like to be 
    Em                G 
The king's pet or the king?" 
            Bm           Cmaj7        
"I'd choose odorless and invisible,

Even though it sounds melodious... 
           NC 
There's no mother's hands to quiet me."
