[Verse 1]
Am Em
When we were young
G Dsus2 Am Em G Dsus2
There were always creatures lurking under the bed
Am Em G Dsus2
A thousand year old dragon lived deep in the lake
Am Em
And he said "Don't be afraid"
G Dsus2
So you dove in.
[Pre Chorus]
Em C
He seemed so sweet and lovely he made you laugh
G Dsus2
And made you forget about the rain
Em
Showed you new tricks on guitar
C Dsus2
Hidden talents that erases the pain, ah
[Chorus]
C G
And don't you know that there's a wolf
Dsus2
Stalking in sheep's clothing
C G Dsus2
Tells me he's the real thing
C G
Think what your life would be missing
Em Dsus2 Asus2
If you didn't have him to sing, to sing about.
[Verse 2]
Am Em
Three headed monsters
G Dsus2 Am Em
They want your money wanna be in the picture
G Dsus2
Be your friend
Am Em
They fill your pool
G Dsus2 Am Em G Dsus2
With alligators are they all just jokers or are they cruel
[Pre Chorus]
Em
They light up when they see you
C G
Like there's no where else that they'd rather be
Dsus2
Than by your side
Em
Then they promise you the stars
C Dsus2
But they're really just along for the ride, ah
[Chorus]
C G
And don't you know that there's a wolf
Dsus2
Stalking in sheep's clothing
C G Dsus2
Tells me he's the real thing
C G
Think what your life would be missing
Em Dsus2 Asus2
If you didn't have him to sing, to sing about.

[Verse 3]
Am Em
Is it the sparkle
G Dsus2 Am Em G Dsus2
In their eyes or the knowledge of the ways of the world
Am Em
The way they kiss
G Dsus2
The way they hold you
Am Em Dsus2
Has made you blind to the fangs and the fire.
[Chorus]
C G
There's a wolf

Stalking in sheep's clothing
