The Wolf

             A                     
Said, "In truth I don't really want
           G#m
 to talk about it"
              C#m
Christmas lights dangled sadly from 
the table in the operating room
A                               
Last I heard you're an addict about 
G#m
it
        C#m
Full of rage and Corona
Trying to blow the birthday kid 
        A
candles out
                        G#m        
Trap doors and the retaliator lead 
C#m
out
To the field where our extended 
                    A
family buried their lies
If you're going, bring some faith 
       G#m
and a flashlight
       C#m
Follow signs that read
"It's twenty miles before you 
finally see fire"
(Maybe you're paying too much for 
your life insurance policy)

[Verse 2]
               A                   
Now there's something to say for 
            G#m
the art of confusion
           C#m                     
I got the courage to enquire where 
                              A
your body traveled all of the time
                               G#m 
"I gotta climb out of this 
         C#m
elevator, hadn't moved me once yet
Do I expect that it should really 
      A
start now?"
                              G#m
The waitress oversees you levitating
         C#m                  
Couldn't think it to words and 
watched your body lift up into the 
 A
sky

Everyone there was just in awe about
G#m
 it
       C#m
Seen a miracle and drank away the 
thought from our minds


[Pre-Chorus 1]
          C#m      E
There was you and me
    A             C#m
And nothing in-between
      C#m           E
It's right and wrong
     A             E F#m
Goes on and on and on


[Chorus]
A            E
 This is the wave that you could 
never conquer
A            E                   
 Losing the smallest piece of 
       B       A
truth we used to know
             C#m
I wasn't prepared to embark with the
 wolf of the mountain
A            E                   
 It wasn't a place that we could 
             C#m
call our own

[Verse 3]
       A                           
Now I don't want to seem like it's 
              G#m
split at the seams
         C#m
See the pain on the wall? See the 
blood in the street?
          A                        
There is nothing you've got when 
                   G#m
you die that you keep
           C#m
You were all that you were, were you
 all you could be?
          A                     
In the blink of an eye there's a 
              G#m
hole in your belly
      C#m
Your body recoils ironically into 
the family planning aisle
A                                 
I overhear, "I don't know where 
   G#m
I'm going
     C#m
I'm going anyway
Don't let 'em tell you that I never 
found..."


[Pre-Chorus 2]
C#m     E      A           C#m
You and me and nothing in-between
     C#m          E        A     
It's right and wrong, goes on and
        E F#m
 on and on
    C#m        E      A          
The truth for me is grasping at 
    C#m
the seam
    C#m     E          A         
So truthfully, do you want to die
      E F#m
 for me?


[Chorus]
A            E
 This is the wave that you could 
never conquer
A            E                   
 Losing the smallest piece of 
       B       A
truth we used to know
             C#m
I wasn't prepared to embark with the
 wolf of the mountain
A            E                   
 It wasn't a place that we could 
             C#m
call our own
