[Intro]
F#m

[Verse 1]
F#m                   A
Mortal once again
F#m                             D
Making out, watch me pretend
Bm               E               D
And you whisper words forbidden
Bm                             E
To see if I’ve been listening
F#m
Well now I’m listening

[Verse 2]
E               F#m               A
We won’t both get our way
F#m                                           D
If we do, it won’t be tonight anyway
Bm               E               D
So I hold you by the jaw
Bm                             E
And kiss you to be sure
F#m
With so much more than before

[Chorus]
D               Bm               E               A
It took a wild heart to tame mine
E               F#m               D
And it took a wild heart to charm
Bm                             E                             A
Now a wildheart has gone and floored me
E                             F#m
With this ever lasting glance
D               E                             F#m
With this ever lasting glance
E                             D               F#m
I wouldn’t have you any other way
E                             D                             F#m
Who wants a love that makes sense anyway

[Verse 3]
E                             F#m
I guess I asked for the truth
A                             D
I guess I asked for it, brutal and untuned
Bm                             E                             D
But tonight it sounds improvised
Bm                             E
Whatever has you so inspired
F#m
While I know you’re inspired

[Verse 4]
E                             F#m
And no one is better armed
A                                                         D
To tear me down with a slight of the tongue
Bm               E              D
And I could do the same
Bm                                            E
And see how long you can keep face
F#m
Let’s see you keeping face

[Chorus]
D Bm E A
But It took a wild heart to tame mine
E F#m D
And it took a wild heart to charm
Bm E A
Now a wildheart has gone and floored me
E F#m
With this ever lasting glance
D E F#m
With this ever lasting glance

E D F#m
I wouldn’t have you any other way
E D F#m
Who wants a love that makes sense anyway
E D F#m
I wouldn’t have you any other way
E D F#m
I don’t want a love that makes sense anyway

[Outro]
D Bm E A
But It took a wild heart to tame mine
E F#m D
And it took a wild heart to charm
Bm E A
Now a wildheart has gone and floored me
E F#m
With this ever lasting glance
D E F#m
With her ever lasting glance
