The Horror And The Wild

         Oh-----

[Verse 1]
Dm
You were raised by wolves and voices
                                 Bb
Every night I hear them howling deep beneath your bed
             A        F   Gm  Dm
They said it all comes down to you
                                        C
You’re the daughter of silent watching stones
                                    Bb
You watch the stars hurl all their fundaments
                   A
In wonderment, at you and yours, forever asking
Dm                                     C
More. You are that space that’s in between
                                  Bb
every page, every chord and every screen
                               A
You are the driftwood and the rift,
                                        Dm
you’re the words that I promise I don’t mean
                                         C
We’re drunk but drinking (sunk but sinking)
                                       Bb
They thought us blind (we were just blinking)
                             A
All the stones and kings of old will hear us
    Dm
screaming at the cold


[Pre-Chorus]
N.C
Remember me I ask, remember me I sing
N.C
Give me back my heart you wingless


[Chorus]
Dm               Bb
Think of all the horrors that I
F
Promised you I’d bring
  Gm
I promise you, they’ll sing of every
Dm                   Bb
Time you passed your fingers through my
F
hair and called me child
Gm                            Dm
Witness me, old man, I am the Wild


[Verse 2]
            Dm                         C
You are the son of every dressing up box
                        Bb
And I am Time itself, I slow to let you play
             A                            Dm
I steal the hours and turn the night into day
                                   C
Day by day oh lord three things I pray
                           Bb
That I might understand as best I can
                      A
How bold I was, could be - will be -
                        Dm
still am, by god still am
               C                   Bb
Fret not dear heart, let not them hear
                           Am
The mutterings of all your fears,
                           Dm
the fluttering of all your wings
                   Dm
Welcome to the storm, I'm thunder
Bb            N.C.
Welcome to my table, bring your hunger


[Chorus]
Dm                Bb
Think of all the horrors that I
F
Promised you I’d bring
   Gm
I promise you, they’ll sing of every
Dm                    Bb
Time you passed your fingers through my
F
hair and called me child
Gm              A            Dm
Witness me old man, I am The Wild

[Bridge]
Dm                                    Bb
Remember me, Remember me, Remember me
Dm          C             Dm
Remember me,  Remember me,   Remember Me!
N.C.
Remember me I ask. Remember me I sing

I am the
