The Horror And The Wild

         Oh-----

[Verse 1]
Dm
You were raised by wolves and voices
                                 Bb
Every night I hear them howling deep
 beneath your bed
             A        F   Gm  Dm
They said it all comes down to you
You’re the daughter of silent 
          C
watching stones
You watch the stars hurl all their 
 Bb
fundaments
                   A
In wonderment, at you and yours, 
forever asking
Dm                                
More. You are that space that’s in
     C
 between
every page, every chord and every 
Bb
screen
                               A
You are the driftwood and the rift,
you’re the words that I promise I 
      Dm
don’t mean
We’re drunk but drinking (sunk but 
      C
sinking)
They thought us blind (we were just 
   Bb
blinking)
                             A
All the stones and kings of old will
 hear us
    Dm
screaming at the cold


[Pre-Chorus]
N.C
Remember me I ask, remember me I 
sing
N.C
Give me back my heart you wingless


[Chorus]
Dm               Bb
Think of all the horrors that I
F
Promised you I’d bring

  Gm
I promise you, they’ll sing of every
Dm                   Bb
Time you passed your fingers through
 my
F
hair and called me child
Gm                            Dm
Witness me, old man, I am the Wild


[Verse 2]
            Dm                     
You are the son of every dressing 
    C
up box
                        Bb
And I am Time itself, I slow to let 
you play
             A                     
I steal the hours and turn the 
       Dm
night into day
Day by day oh lord three things I 
 C
pray
                           Bb
That I might understand as best I 
can
                      A
How bold I was, could be - will be -
                        Dm
still am, by god still am
               C                 
Fret not dear heart, let not them 
  Bb
hear
                           Am
The mutterings of all your fears,
                           Dm
the fluttering of all your wings
                   Dm
Welcome to the storm, I'm thunder
Bb            N.C.
Welcome to my table, bring your 
hunger


[Chorus]
Dm                Bb
Think of all the horrors that I
F
Promised you I’d bring
   Gm
I promise you, they’ll sing of every
Dm                    Bb
Time you passed your fingers through
 my
F
hair and called me child
Gm              A            Dm
Witness me old man, I am The Wild

Remember me,  Remember me,   
Remember Me!

Remember me I ask. Remember me I
