Wilderlove

Tom: G

C G Bm Em D

[Verse 1]
C                         D
Plumbed the badlands as a child
          Bm
Where the dust devils dance
         Em           D
On the dreams of the ivy wild

[Bridge]
C              Bm
The places you grow up
The tumbling ground is rough
Em            D
There is no domestic heart
C                 D
So what have we become
            Bm
Just pedestrian
Em            D
There is no domestic heart

[Chorus]
C                 D
And the wilderlove is hidden within us
Bm
And we reckon with it
Em     D
And we wrestle with it
C              D
The wilderlove is hidden within us
Bm
And we wrestle with it
Em     D
We wrestle with it

[Instrumental]
C G Bm Em D

[Verse 2]
                 D
You are the wilderness
        Bm
And I fall fast drawn
        Em           D
To the rise of your vast expanse
C                   D
And I feel so underdressed
    Bm
So civilized and small
        Em          D
By the powers that you posses

[Bridge]
C              Bm
The places you grow up
The tumbling ground is rough
Em            D
There is no domestic heart
C                 D
So what have we become
            Bm
Just pedestrian
Em            D
There is no domestic heart

[Chorus]
C                 D
And the wilderlove is hidden within us
Bm
And we wrestle with it
Em     D
And we wrestle with it
C              D
The wilderlove is hidden within us
Bm
And we wrestle with it
Em     D
And we wrestle with it
