Capo 4.
[Verse 1]
GI woke up thinking you were still here
CMy hands shaking with regret
GI've held this dream for such a long long time
[Chorus]
And I wanna get upEm  
To the rhythm of a wildC, to the rhythm of a wild Dheart
That beats, that beats like a rolling drum
[Verse 2]
GI saw you standing on the corner
CI saw you standing on your own
GAnd I get the feeling that it's, it's all a dream
[Refrain]
And I wanna get upEm  
To the rhythm of a wildC, to the rhythm of a wild Dheart
That beats, that beats like a drum
[Bridge]
GWhen I fall asleep I can see your face
What I lost in you I will not replace 
EmAnd I could run away, I could let them down
But CI will reDmember your light
[Verse 3]
GYour light it follows me in darkness
CI'm trying hard but I can't win
GAnd I've played the victim for a long long time
[Refrain]
And I wanna grow upEm  
From the rhythm a youngC, from the rhythm of a younger Dheart
It leads just like a river runs
[Verse 4]
GThat night I sent over the parkway
CThe summer's gone and I'm alone
GAnd I get the feeling that you're somewhere close
[Refrain]
And I wanna get upEm  
To the rhythm of your wildC, to the rhythm of your wild Dheart
It beats, been beating since you've gone
[Bridge]
GWhen I fall asleep I can see your face
What I lost in you I will not replace 
And I could Emrun away, I could let them down

When I Gfall asleep I can see your face
What I lost in you I will not replace 
And I could Emrun away, I could let them down
And CI know you're Dgone but still CI will reDmember your Emlight
GI will reDmember   Em[x4]

Capo 4.

[Verse 1]

I woke up thinking you were still here

My hands shaking with regret

I've held this dream for such a long long time

[Chorus]

And I wanna get up

C D

To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart

That beats, that beats like a rolling drum

[Verse 2]

I saw you standing on the corner

I saw you standing on your own

And I get the feeling that it's, it's all a dream

[Refrain]

And I wanna get up

C D

To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart

That beats, that beats like a drum

[Bridge]

When I fall asleep I can see your face

What I lost in you I will not replace

And I could run away, I could let them down

But I will remember your light

[Verse 3]

Your light it follows me in darkness

I'm trying hard but I can't win

And I've played the victim for a long long time

[Refrain]

And I wanna grow up

C D

From the rhythm a young, from the rhythm of a younger heart

It leads just like a river runs

[Verse 4]

That night I sent over the parkway

The summer's gone and I'm alone

And I get the feeling that you're somewhere close

[Refrain]

And I wanna get up

C D

To the rhythm of your wild, to the rhythm of your wild heart

It beats, been beating since you've gone

When I fall asleep I can see your face

What I lost in you I will not replace
