Wild Child

[Verse]

Em                 D
Life was gray when I grew up.
Am                Em
Everyone around me seemed stuck,
     Em                     D
Like all their dreams had broke on them,
    Am                  Em
And opportunities all closed on them.

[Bridge]

C                 D                         Bm
But this couldn't be what life was meant to be.
            Em              C
I couldn't let it suffocate me.
      D
Oh oh


[Chorus]

       Em
I'm a wild child.
                         D
I fell in love with the wild fire.
Am                   Em
To live fast and to die young!
                 D
To break away, hallelujah!
Am                         Em
Wham bam boom, run right through ya.

[Verse]


Em                   D
I took the only way out I knew.
   Am                Em
I got doped up, and away I flew.
  Em                     D
I hit the streets, and I hit the juice.
   Am                          Em
I rock-and-rolled and let all hell break loose.


[Bridge]

C         D                    Bm
I didn't care if I choked and died.
                 Em               C
At least I would know I had felt alive.
       D
Oh oh

[Chorus]

       Em
I'm a wild child.
                         D
I fell in love with the wild fire.
Am                   Em
To live fast and to die young!
                 D
To break away, hallelujah!
Am                         Em
Wham bam boom, run right through ya.

[Verse]

Em                          D
All of these stories, they end the same.
      Am                            Em
You wreck your chances, and you're left with shame.
Em                            D
Sometimes I think I'm just a big mistake.
     Am                             Em
And now I'm worse off than what I tried to escape.


[Bridge]

C              D               Bm
But when the surge of action comes,
              Em
I can't help myself.
                C
I love nothing else.
      D
Oh oh


[Chorus]

       Em
I'm a wild child.
                         D
I fell in love with the wild fire.
Am                   Em
To live fast and to die young!
                 D
To break away, hallelujah!
Am                         Em
Wham bam boom, run right through ya.
