VERSE 1
********
                   C               F      G
Babes in the wood, walking through snow
         E7                Am
Big, bad wolf at the window
         C                    F     G
Not much choice in the matter now
          E7              Am       C
Some must lead, some must follow


E|E|----------------||-------
VERSE 2
********
                   G                F        C
And touch can mean distance to some people
               G                   F
Touch can mean prison or be like a cage
  C                   G                  F
I always thought that life could be more simple
              G            F
Especially in this day and age

They got the time, they got the need
                          F
The world's getting weird, the wolf's running free
                   G     E7            Am
But that's another story, this is their story

VERSE 3
********
                   C         F      G
Babes in the wood, eager and keen
            E7              Am
Soft as the fern underneath them
                           C       F      G
Wet to the skin from their own hot glow
        E7                Am   C
No more wolf at the window


E|E|----------------||-------
VERSE 4
********
               G                F        C
Touch can mean distance to some people
                     G                     F     C
And touch can mean I own you forever and a day
        G                  F
If only life could be more simple
              G            F
Especially in this day and age

The world's getting weird, the wolf's running free
                   G     E7            Am
But that's another story, this is their story

********
                   G                 F        C
But touch can be a blessing to other people
                    G                 F            C
And touch can bring blossom to things that decay
        G                   F
I think life should be that simple
              G            F
Especially in this day and age
