Chords

[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.
[Chorus]
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."
[Interlude]
E5       Eb5
Ahhhhhhh ah

E5       Eb5
Ahhhhhhh ah

E5       Eb5
Ahhhhhhh ah

E5       Eb5
Ahhhhhhh ah
[Instrumental] Em Cmaj7 Em G Em Cmaj7 Em G [Chorus]
Em                           Cmaj7
"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,

    G                            Cmaj7
But otherwise I would choose the king,

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