SOLO 1:  C   F   Am   Gx2
VERSE:
There was a wish I made; To burn before I fade
And go out with a bang; Be a bell that rang
And so it is I feel; It's not so bad to steal the lime light once in a while
Just to make you smile

AmJoin me in a Floving dance, we'll Cstop our Gfaking 
VERSE:
The fire, the fire; I'm a furnace roarin'
I'm a rocket soarin'; Let me take your hand
Light the light; You are the air that feeds me
You're the road that leads me to the promised land
Don't let your sun set down on me
I need your golden rays
SOLO 3:  C   F   Am   Gx2
VERSE:
There was a wish I made; To burn before I fade
And go out with a bang; Be a bell that rang
I found it in your face; A very sacred space
I'm gonna light that fuse; Lord I found my muse
CHORUS:
Sometimes I feel so mild, child
You make me wanna be wild
Child, you make me wanna be wild
