Wild Creatures Chords

[Verse 1]
 
        A
When you catch the light
                   D
You look like your mother
   A              Em7
It crushes me some,
                    Fmaj7
Just right from the side
         A
When you catch the light
                        G     Em7
There's a flash of wild creatures,
           Fmaj7/G
Before the Stone Age of the preachers,
                          G
And the husbands, and the wives
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     A
When you catch the light
                     D
The flood changes direction,
    A                Em7
And darkens the lens
                  Fmaj7
That projects my disguise
       A
As you fight along-side,
                   G     Em7
You'll discover my weakness
        Fmaj7/G
I'm not fighting for your freedom,
                    G
I am fighting to be wild.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
E                            Cmaj7
"Hey, little girl, would you like to be
    E                 G
The king's pet or the king?"
            Bm           Cmaj7
"I'd choose odorless and invisible,
    G                            Cmaj7
But otherwise I would choose the king.
     G         D          C
Even though it sounds the loneliest...
       G         D           C
And my brother's hands would poison me."
 
 
[Interlude]
 
E5       Eb5
Ahhhhhhh ah
E5       Eb5
Ahhhhhhh ah
E5       Eb5
Ahhhhhhh ah
E5       Eb5
Ahhhhhhh ah

[Chorus]
 
Em                           Cmaj7
"Hey, little girl, would you like to be
    Em                G
The king's pet or the king?"
            Bm           Cmaj7
"I'd choose odorless and invisible,
    G                            Cmaj7
But otherwise I would choose the king,
     G         D      C
Even though it sounds melodious...
           NC
There's no mother's hands to quiet me."
