Bb           Gm        Dm         F 
When all are dizzy and happy from too much wine 
  Bb        Gm      Dm     F 
I leave the party behind 
   Bb     Gm          Dm                F 
To walk alone with my thoughts and this spinning mind 
Bb           Gm         A 
Through this cold night but there she stands 

        Dm         Am 
And she walks like you 
        Dm            Am 
And she smiles almost like you 
  F            C              G C/G G * 
A child of the wild just like you 

Bb    Gm       Dm      F 
For a second I think I get a glimpse 
Bb     Gm          Dm      F 
Of the real her, behind 
      Bb       Gm           Dm                F 
She's warm and fragile with smiles that reach to her eyes 
    Bb        Gm       A 
But just this moment a change so sublime 

Bb C   Dm               C 
If she looked me deep into my eyes 
    Bb 
And softly asked me to 
Bb  C  Dm              C 
I'd be in her bed and in her flesh 
    Bb 
And waste a life I knew 

Bb C Dm                 C 
So I hold my breath and close my eyes 
    Bb 
And focus on the wine 
Bb  C    Dm                C 
Let this trembling moment pass us by 
Bb             Dm 
So I could say goodnight 

Bb           Gm        Dm     F 
But then, on impulse I almost touched her face 
  Bb     Gm             Dm         F 
Before I pulled back my hand 
    Bb       Gm       Dm            F 
And we get nervous we laugh and she spills her wine 
Bb      Gm           Dm            F 
Both so awkward, for what's on our mind 

        Dm         Am 
And she talks like you 
        Dm            Am 
And she smells almost like you 
  F            C              G C/G G * 
A child of the wild just like you 
          Dm      Am 
But she's not all you 
     Dm             Am 
Even strives not to be you 
     F          C            G C/G G * 
Just like every sister would do 

       Gm            Dm 
And perhaps it's the wine 
        Gm            Dm 
Or that you're in her eyes 
      F             C          G C/G G * 
But I want her this one single time 
Just this one time 

Bb C   Dm               C 
If she looked me deep into my eyes 
    Bb 
And softly asked me too 
Bb  C  Dm              C 
I'd be in her bed and in her flesh 
    Bb 
And waste a life I knew 

Bb C Dm                 C 
So I hold my breath and close my eyes 
    Bb 
And focus on the wine 
Bb  C    Dm               C 
Let this trembling moment pass us by 
   Bb 
So I could say goodnight 

    Bb C   Dm               C 
And if I'd looked into her eyes 
    Bb 
And softly asked her too 
Bb  C     Dm               C 
She would give herself and give her flesh 
    Bb 
And waste a life she knew 

Bb C  Dm                   C 
So we hold our breath, and close our eyes 
    Bb 
And take a sip of wine 
Bb  C    Dm            C 
But this thirst has emptied every glass 
    Bb 
And we should say goodnight 

God, help me say goodnight
