twisted into [D#] shapes unknown to the wicked and the wise. _
_ [D#m] And he bares the look of an [F#] animal,
_ [C#]
seeing there is no animal to [D#] ever be.
_ [F#] _ _ _
_ [C#] He has been [D#m] driven beyond [F#] all towns and all [C#] systems
until now, [D#] though his long path [F#] is too far,
he keeps going.
[G#m] _ _ Because it is a desert. _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ Because it is death. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#] If we come to [F#] that river, [G#] _ _ we'll walk [A#m] away from all this [G#] mess.
Come to that water, _ _ we'll walk [C#] away from all this mess.

She [C#] first saw him, he was [D#m] standing in the doorway,
[F#] _
illuminated from [C#] behind by a light.
_ [D#m] _ [F#] Though imaginary [C#] possums chase them to the existing [F#] abode. _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [D#m] Standing on the cliff [F#] today, _ [C#] I thought I saw you below.

[G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ It's a desert. _
_ _ _ [G#m] _ Because it's a desert. _
_ Nobody [C#] asks him about his whereabouts. _
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ Come [A#m] to that river, [G#] _ _ we'll walk away from all this mess.
Come to that water, _ _ _ we'll [A#m] walk away from [C#] all this mess.

But the world [C#] is turning faster.
[G#] _ _ [F#] _
That's [C#] it when I was young.
_ [F#] _
_ [C#] When I was young.
_ [F#]
Oh.
_ [C#] Now I'm waiting.
_ [A#m] _ _
[F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [C#] _ In the wild, [F#] _
_ _ [C#] wild, wild, [F#] wild.
