(There's not really any guitar on this verse, but here are the general chords if you want them)
Verse 1:
E A
Time can make more rubble out of dreams than anything,
E A
In a quiet neighborhood where she's living without wings,
E A
There's eye behind the curtains and ears below the floor,
E A
There's cracks inside the ceiling and there's shadows at the door,
C#m B A
Her boredom stirs a rage inside her soul,
C#m B A
The razor reaches out and takes control
Chorus:
E A
Baby she's a wild thing, yeah
E A
Baby she's a wild thing, yeah
Baby she's a wild thing

Verse 2:
--Same progression as verse 1--
Nine days out alone sleeping in the dirt,
She walks back into town with blood stains on her shirt,
Everyone has questions but no one wants to know,
How far the anger in someone can really make them go,
Her tangled hair and mud stains on her knees,
Bruised ribs and rips on the side of her jeans,
Chorus:
E A
Baby she's a wild thing, yeah

F#m A
Well I used to be a citizen in this town,
E B
Til my teeth turned grey and my hair fell out,
F#m A
I'm a symbol to some people they don't wanna know,
E B
But a girl looking for trouble said she'd give me a go
F#m A
While everybody's sleeping in this town at night,
E B
From the crooked clock tower to the borderline,
F#m A
And night star static in the winter breeze,
E B
She's lying in the moonlight with her hands between my knees
F#m
She said it's alright,
A E
Well it's alright by me
F#m
She said it's alright,
A E
Well it's alright by me
