Tone: [Dm]
Intro:
[Dm] [Dm] [Bb]Oh-[C]Oh---[Am]----
 
Verse 1:
[Dm]You were raised by wolves and voices
Every night I hear them howling d[Bb]deep beneath your bed
They said it [A]all comes[F] dow[Gm]n to[Dm] you
You’re the daughter of silent watching s[C]stones
You watch the stars hurl all their f[Bb]fundaments
In wonderment, at y[A]you and yours, forever asking
[Dm]More. You are that space that’s in betw[C]between
every page, every chord and every [Bb]screen
You are the driftwood and the r[A]rift,
you’re the words that I promise I don’t [Dm]mean
We’re drunk but drinking -sunk but sinkin[C]sinking-
They thought us blind -we were just bli[Bb]blinking-
All the stones and kings of o[A]old will hear us
scre[Dm]screaming at the cold
 
Pre-Chorus:
 
Remember me I ask, remember me I sing
 
Give me back my heart you wingless
 
Chorus:
[Dm]Think of all the [Bb]horrors that I
[F]Promised you I’d bring
I [Gm]promise you, they’ll sing of every
[Dm]Time you passed your [Bb]fingers through my
[F]hair and called me child
[Gm]Witness me, old man, I am the [Dm]Wild
 
Verse 2:
You are the [Dm]son of every dressing up bo[C]box
And I am Time itself, I [Bb]slow to let you play
I steal the h[A]hours and turn the night into [Dm]day
Day by day oh lord three things I p[C]pray
That I might understand as [Bb]best I can
How bold I was, could [A]be - will be -
still am, by god still a[Dm]am
Fret not dear h[C]heart, let not them h[Bb]hear
The mutterings of all your [Am]fears,
the fluttering of all your [Dm]wings
Welcome to the stor[Dm]storm, I'm thunder
[Bb]Welcome to my table, bring your hunger
 
Chorus:
[Dm]Think of all the h[Bb]horrors that I
[F]Promised you I’d bring
I p[Gm]promise you, they’ll sing of every
[Dm]Time you passed your f[Bb]fingers through my
[F]hair and called me child
[Gm]Witness me old m[A]man, I am The [Dm]Wild

[Am] [Dm] [C] [Dm] [Bb]
Bridge:
[Dm]Remember me, Remember me, Remember me [Bb]
[Dm]Remember me,[C]me, Remember me,[Dm]me, Remember Me!
 
Remember me I ask. Remember me I sing
 
Chorus:
[Dm]Think of all the [Bb]horrors that I
[F]Promised you I’d bring
I [Gm]promise you, they’ll sing of every
[Dm]Time you passed your f[Bb]fingers through my
[F]hair and called me child
[Gm]Witness me old m[A]man, I am the
[Dm]Think of all the [Bb]horrors that I
[F]Promised you I’d bring
I p[Gm]promise you, they’ll s[F]sing of every
[Dm]Time you passed your f[Bb]fingers through my
[F]hair and called me child
[Gm]Witness me, old man, old man, old m[A]man,
I am the [Dm]
