Tom: D

     G                         A        
When things get bad, you better bet I feel the temperature drop.
            C                     D
It might be ten outside, but it’s forty below in my mind.
      G             A
And I spend all day hunting and circling myself,
           C                                       D
But when I have myself surrounded I never have the heart to finish it off.

G                               A
Baby you know I love you, but I just can’t leave the house.
C                                      D
Baby you know I need you, but it’s not enough to fight myself.

G                         A
We become our own wolves. We become our own wolves.
C                         D
We become our own wolves. We become our own wolves.

                   G             A
You know I want to rise above and learn how to trust.
    C                              D
The wild was not my friend, but it never did pretend.
      G             A
And I spend all day measuring the color of the sky.
C                    D
Should I go outside? Should I go outside?

G                               A
Baby you know I love you, but I just can’t leave the house.
C                                      D
Baby you know I need you, but it’s not enough to fight myself.

G                         A
We become our own wolves. We become our own wolves.
C                         D
We become our own wolves. We become our own wolves.
