*play something like [32003X] [XXX010] and resolve on the G to mimic the keyboard's
descending pattern (or don't, if you prefer not to)
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
