D         C         G           Em
I use the big words, But I just can't join up the dots.

I'll break the small rules, If it means that you will stop.

D         C            G           Em
Maybe the saddest thing I've said, Is that I recognize myself
D C G -(Either play a low G barre chord here or the last 5 notes of the intro) I understand my fate. (If you're playing along with the song, instead of playing the D,C&G you can play the first intro bit) Chorus -
E      D            A           F#m
I am a wolf among men, And I'll take what I can get.

E     D             A           F#m
I am lost in your eyes, And I'm filling with regret.

E      D            A           F#m
Am I so different to you, Or are you the same as me?

E        D
I'm lost in your eyes.

I can't break the big rules, Otherwise who would I be?
