[Verse]
    Fmaj7      Dsus2       Am          C
When all   are dizzy   and happy   from too much wine

   Fmaj7      Dsus2        Am      C
I  leave    the party    behind

   Fmaj7   Dsus2          Am                 C
To walk   alone with   my thoughts and   this spinning mind

Fmaj7           Dsus2
Through    this cold night

E
But there she stands
[Bridge]
        Am         Em
And she walks like you

        Am            Em
And she smiles almost like you

  C            Dadd11         D Dsus D
A child of the wild just like you
[Instrumental Bridge]
     Am | Am/G | Fmaj7/F
(Yes)
Am11/G Am | Am/G | Fmaj7/F [Verse]
Fmaj7   Dsus2       Am         C
For    a second,   I think I   get a glimpse

Fmaj7     Dsus2         Am      C
Of     the real her   behind

      Fmaj7      Dsus2         Am                     C
She's warm   and fragile   with smiles that   reach to her eyes

   Fmaj7       Dsus2
For just   one moment

  E
A change so   sublime
[Chorus]
             Am               Am/G           Fmaj7/F
And if she'd looked me deep into my eyes and softly asked me to

    Am11/G   Am             Am/G             Fmaj7/F
I'd be       in her bed and in her flesh and waste the life I knew

   Am11/G   Am                 Am/G              Fmaj7/F
So I        hold my breath and close my eyes and focus on the wine

    Am11/G   Am               Am/G           Fmaj7/F               Dm
Let this     trembling moment pass us by, so I could say goodnight
[Verse]
    Fmaj7        Dsus2     Am         C
But then,   on impulse,   I almost   touch her face

  Fmaj7    Dsus2         Am       C
Before   I pull back   my hand

    Fmaj7       Dsus2         Am              C
And we      get nervous,   we laugh and   she spills her wine

Fmaj7      Dsus2
Both    so awkward

E
For what's on our mind
[Bridge]
        Am         Em
And she talks like you

        Am            Em
And she smells almost like you

  C            Dadd11         D Dsus D
A child of the wild just like you

          Am      Em
But she's not all you

     Am             Em
Even strives not to be you

     C          Dadd11       D Dsus D
Just like every sister would do

    Am               Em
And perhaps it's the wine

        Am            Em
Or that you're in her eyes

      C             Dadd11     D Dsus D
But I want you this one single time
[Instrumental Bridge]
                   Am | Am/G | Fmaj7/F
(just this one time)
Am11/G Am | Am/G | Fmaj7/F [Chorus]
       Am11/G   Am               Am/G           Fmaj7/F
And if she'd    looked me deep into my eyes and softly asked me to

    Am11/G   Am             Am/G             Fmaj7/F
I'd be       in her bed and in her flesh and waste the life I knew

   Am11/G   Am                 Am/G              Fmaj7/F
So I        hold my breath and close my eyes and focus on the wine

    Am11/G   Am               Am/G           Fmaj7/F
Let this     trembling moment pass us by, so I could say goodnight

             Am               Am/G           Fmaj7/F
And if she'd looked me deep into my eyes and softly asked me to

    Am11/G   Am             Am/G             Fmaj7/F
I'd be       in her bed and in her flesh and waste the life I knew

   Am11/G   Am                 Am/G              Fmaj7/F
So I        hold my breath and close my eyes and focus on the wine

    Am11/G   Am               Am/G           Fmaj7/F
Let this     trembling moment pass us by, so I could say goodnight
Dm Dsus2 Dm God, help me say goodnight
