[E] [D] [A] [E]
[D] [A] I wanna be a sheep.
[B]
[E] [D] [A] [E]
[D] [A]
[B] [E] I was a wolf for so long [D] howling up toward the moon.
[A] I devoured the [E] defenseless sheep like balloons that were tied to a [D] railing and would [A] anyway
soon be deflated.
[B] I [E] met you in between my [D] [A] carnivorous meals and your hair was so soft and [E] your body was
real and the layers [D] of leaves blew away to [A] reveal a new pathway.
[E] Now I'm trying to [D] hide my love away, be [A] discreet, but you're a reason to [E] change and end my violent streak.
A reason to be [D] normal, a reason to [A] bleed like a sheep.
[B] I just wanna [E] be a sheep.
I just [B] wanna be a sheep following [A] right along with the [B] crowds.
A balloon with my [A] head floating up through the [E] clouds and a little white [D] string holding
me to the [A] ground.
Could that be [B] you?
It [E] could be [D] you.
[A] I [E] just wanna be a [D] sheep.
I just wanna be a sheep.
[A]
[E] [D] Now [A] the [B]
[E] clock on the wall [D] plays a sinister [A] game.
It treats every twelve [E] hours exactly the same.
You cannot return, [D] you can't get away.
[A] It keeps going.
[B]
[E] And everything you've done [D] you can never undo.
[A] So I know that it's [E] useless to try and be new.
But when you keep your eye [D] on me steady and blue, [A] I keep trying anyway.
[B] [E] And that eye watching me [D] makes me not wanna hurt.
[A] I don't want to drool any [E] more blood on your shirt.
And I don't wanna stay [D] up and paw through the dirt.
[A] I need sleep.
[B] I just wanna [E] be a sheep.
I just wanna [B] be a sheep and be [A] gentle and docile and [B] dumb.
And to hear a voice [A] call me and know I must [E] come.
And a shepherd to [D] lead me and forget where I'm [A] from.
Could that be [B] you?
It [E] could be you.
[D] [A]
[E] I just wanna [D] [A] be a sheep.
[E] [D] [A] Yes, [B] [E] I am the one [D] who's been killing the [A] flock.
I admit it.
And [E] now that you're over the shock, would you take me and [D] keep me and turn back [A] the
clock with your pretty little hand?
[B] I just wanna be [E] a sheep.
