This is my first post, so I'm not how the format works. Intro: Am/Aadd9 repeated with an A bass strum. (Aadd9 is just X02200) -------Verse 1----------------------------------------------
Am                 C
Betrayed? It's the question

G         Am
That I am asking

F         G                     Am            (Aadd9/Am etc.)
Or just a lucky one deceived by too much love?
-------Verse 2----------------------------------------------
Am                C
Confused.  Is the issue.

G                Am
I'm in need of a rescue

F       G                    Am
Another lucky one stunned by too much love
Aadd9/Am
F
-------Chorus-----------------------------------------------

F       Am
My Wild child

G                     Am
She's my salvaged shipwreck.

        G               F
My wild child, She's my stone.

F       Am
My Wild child

         G            Am
She's my constant reminder.

My wild child, She's my Home.

Lost, Is the place

G                   Am
Where I'm hammering stakes

F             G                    Am            (Aadd9/Am etc.)
Sign says "a lucky one deceived by too much love"
-------Verse 4----------------------------------------------
Am            C
Saved, is the state

G                   Am
That we're told was graced

F              G                   Am
He was just a lucky one stunned by too much love
Aadd9/Am
F

Back to Am/Aadd9 -------Verse 5----------------------------------------------
Am           C
Life, is the riddle

G                        Am
That we're caught in the middle

F           G                        Am
A couple of lucky ones tangled up in too much love
Aadd9/Am F -------Chorus------------------------------------------------
F       Am
My Wild child

         G            Am
She's my salvaged shipwreck.

        G               F
My wild child, She's my stone.

F       Am
My Wild child

G                     Am
She's my constant reminder.

        G               Am
My wild child, She's my home.
Back to Am/Aadd9 -------End-------------------------------------------------- - Notes: They go to Am briefly between first and second parts of the chorus, which is a nicer than just dwelling on the F, but I left it out of the transcription for I also wrote the lyrics as I hear them rather than the liner notes, since I think that this is how it's sung.
