WILD
 
[Intro]
Dm    Gm    A7    Dm
Dm    Gm    A7    Dm
 
[Verse 1]
Dm
I went into my favourite bar,
A7                    Dm
Where they know me well,
Dm
The bartender said you need a whiskey man,
Gm              A7
Pretty sure I can tell!
Dm
No,! my doc says that stuff’ll kill ya,
Gm
Better just give me a sasparilla,
A7                     Dm
None of those alcoholic drinks you sell,
 
[Chorus 1]
C               Bb       Dm
Wild ain’t as wild as before,
C             Bb        A7
No, wild ain’t so wild anymore,
Dm
I took me a long look in the mirror,
Gm
Now I sees things a whole lot clearer,
A7
Want to stick around for
               Dm
what’s in store,
 
[Verse 2]
Dm
I used to stay up to the wee hours,
A7                 Dm
Late into the night,
Gm              A7
Sometimes I’d even make it through,
Dm
Right to the morning light,
Gm
Now I need sleep to stay in the saddle,
A7
This aging thing is a constant battle,
                                   Dm
I’m doing all I can to win the fight,
 
[Chorus 2]
C               Bb       Dm
Wild ain’t as wild as before,
C             Bb        A7
No, wild ain’t so wild anymore,
Dm
I took me a long look in the mirror,
Gm
Now I sees things a whole lot clearer,
A7
Want to stick around for
               Dm
what’s in store,
 
[Bridge]
Gm            Dm
The years pass by for you and I,
Gm                Dm
None of us wants it to stop,
Gm            Dm
Time reveals that we have to try,
E                A
If we want to stay on top!
 
[Verse 3]
Dm
I used to eat everything set before me,
A7                       Dm
Life was a great big feast,
Gm              A7
Life was a carnival and a zoo,
Dm
And I was a raging beast,
Gm
But now I take it easy on the whisky and scotch,
A7
I’ve learned to take things down a notch,
                                      Dm
But my appetite for life has just increased,
 
[Chorus 3]
C               Bb       Dm
Wild ain’t as wild as before,
C             Bb        A7
No, wild ain’t so wild anymore,
Dm
I took me a long look in the mirror,
Gm
Now I sees things a whole lot clearer,
A7
Want to stick around for
               Dm
what’s in store,
