[Verse 1]
Time can make more rubble out of Adreams than anything,
EIn a quiet neighborhood where she's Aliving without wings,
EThere's eye behind the curtains and Aears below the floor,
EThere's cracks inside the ceiling and there's sAhadows at the door,
C#mHer boredom stirs a Brage inside her Asoul,
C#mThe razor reaches oBut and takes contrAol
[Chorus]
Baby she's a Ewild thingA
Baby she's a Ewild thingA
Baby she's a wild thing

[Verse 2]
Nine days out alone Asleeping in the dirt,
EShe walks back into town with Ablood stains on her shirt,
EEveryone has questions but Ano one wants to know,
EHow far the anger in someone can Areally make them go,
C#mHer tangled hair and Bmud stains on her Aknees,
C#mBruised ribs and Brips on the Aside of her jeans,
[Chorus]
Baby she's a Ewild thingA
Baby she's a Ewild thingA
Baby she's a wild thing

Well I F#mused to be a citizen iAn this town,
Til my Eteeth turned grey and my hBair fell out,
I'm a sF#mymbol to some people they don't wAanna know,
But a Egirl looking for trouble said she'd gBive me a go
While F#meverybody's sleeping in this toAwn at night,
From the cErooked clock tower to the boBrderline,
And F#mnight star static in the wiAnter breeze,
She's Elying in the moonlight with her haBnds between my knees
She said it's F#malright,
Well it's alriAght by meE
She said it's F#malright,
Well it's alrigAht by meE

[Verse 1]
A
Time can make more rubble out of dreams than anything,
E A
In a quiet neighborhood where she's living without wings,
E A
There's eye behind the curtains and ears below the floor,
E A
There's cracks inside the ceiling and there's shadows at the door,
C#m B A
Her boredom stirs a rage inside her soul,
C#m B A
The razor reaches out and takes control
[Chorus]

Baby she's a wild thing

Her tangled hair and mud stains on her knees,

Bruised ribs and rips on the side of her jeans,

F#m A
Well I used to be a citizen in this town,
E B
Til my teeth turned grey and my hair fell out,
F#m A
I'm a symbol to some people they don't wanna know,
E B
But a girl looking for trouble said she'd give me a go
F#m A
While everybody's sleeping in this town at night,
E B
From the crooked clock tower to the borderline,
F#m A
And night star static in the winter breeze,
E B
She's lying in the moonlight with her hands between my knees
F#m
She said it's alright,
A E
Well it's alright by me
F#m
She said it's alright,
A E
Well it's alright by me
