WHEN THE WILD LIFE BETRAYS ME
Jimmy Buffett
MCA Records
[Intro]
                        C                         G
Can't believe I'm still here, with the morning so near
                     D
And last night so un clear
                  C                        G
I see a trembling hand, and a gold wedding band
                  D
Wonder where do I stand
                      D         C                    G
When the wild life be trays me, and I'm too far from home
                     D
Will you be there to save me
    G                         C
And shelter my heart till I'm strong
                             G
Or will you just hang up the phone
                 C                         G
All my crazy old lies, and my worn out dis guise
                       D
Turns to tears in your eyes
                   C                          G
What a fool I have been, there's no way I can win,
                        D
Unless you take me back in
                      D         C                    G
When the wild life be trays me, and I'm too far from home
                     D
Will you be there to save me
    G                         C
And shelter my heart till I'm strong
                             G
Or will you just hang up the phone
                      D                              G
When the wild life be trays me, And I'm too far from home
                     D
Will you be there to save me
    G                         C
And shelter my heart till I'm strong
                             G
Or will you just hang up the phone
