Tom: Dm
[Intro] Dm C Bb
Bb Gm Dm F
When all are dizzy and happy from too much wine
Bb Gm Dm F
I leave the party behind
Bb Gm Dm F
To walk alone with my thoughts and this spinning mind
Bb Gm
Through this cold night
A
But there she stands
Dm Am
And she walks like you
Dm Am
And she smiles almost like you
F C G4 G
A child of the wild just like you
(Yes)
( Dm C Bb )
Bb Gm Dm F
For a second, I think I get a glimpse
Bb Gm Dm F
Of the real her behind
Bb Gm Dm F
She's warm and fragile with smiles that reach to her eyes
Bb Gm
For just this moment
A
A change so sublime
Bb C Dm C Bb
If she'd looked me deep into my eyes and softly asked me to
Bb C Dm C Bb
I'd be in her bed and in her flesh and waste the life I knew
Bb C Dm C Bb
So I hold my breath and close my eyes and focus on the wine
Bb C Dm C Bb
Let this trembling moment pass us by, so I could say goodnight
Bb Gm Dm F
But then, an impulse, I almost touch her face
Bb Gm Dm F
Before I pull back my hand.
Bb Gm Dm F
And we get nervous, we laugh and she spills her wine
Bb Gm
Both so awkward
A
For what's on our mind
Dm Am
And she talks like you
Dm Am
And she smells almost like you
F C G4 G
A child of the wild just like you
Dm Am
But she's not all you
Dm Am
Even strives not to be you
F C G4 G
Just like every sister would do
Gm Dm
And perhaps it's the want
Gm Dm
Or that you’re in her eyes
F C G4 G
But I want her this one single time
(Just this one time)
( Dm C Bb )
Bb C Dm C Bb
If she'd looked me deep into my eyes and softly asked me to
Bb C Dm C Bb
I'd be in her bed and in her flesh and waste the life I knew
Bb C Dm C Bb
So I hold my breath and close my eyes and focus on the wine
Bb C Dm C Bb
Let this trembling moment pass us by, and then we'll say goodnight
Dm C Bb
And if I'd look into her eyes and softly asked her to
Bb C Dm C Bb
She would give herself and give her flesh, and waste the life she knew
Bb C Dm C Bb
So we hold our breaths and close our eyes and take a sip of wine
Bb C Dm C
But this thirst has emptied every glass,
Bb Gm
and we should say goodnight
Dm
God, help me say goodnight
