[Verse 1]

C            F
If the trees bend tonight
           C                     F
And if the light- the light goes off
                  Dm       F
By now, would you cuddle me and pretend to be?


[Refrain]

    C             F
And if the wolves ever show up
            C                 F
And neither bark all night to keep you up
          Dm                      G
We should go out and walk barefoot
                        C
You should measure your longest tooth
F
Ooh


[Verse 2]

  C               F
Asleep while everything gets dark
      C                  F
I can feel your eyes and see your heart
    Dm                    F
The blanket's a paradise; one morning sent to rise


[Refrain]

    C             F
And if the wolves never show up
            C                 F
And neither bark all night to keep you up
          Dm                         G
We should teach them a brand new song
                       C
And how to whistle it, too
F
Ooh


[Chorus]

C                       F
Oh, your heart is so tiny sometimes
                  C 
I wish you were a wolf sometimes
                        G
What if sometimes was now?
    C                         F
And oh, your hand is so clever sometimes
                  C
I wish you were a wolf sometimes
                        G
What if sometimes was now?


[Bridge]

[Verse 3]

     C               F
What if you could be someone else,
          C                F
Would you ask someone like me to trade?
          Dm
You would feel what I have felt
          G
The day I gave what I had left


[Refrain]

    C             F
And if the wolves ever show up
            C                   F
And you can sing your name, and then shut up
           Dm                      G
You should go out and walk barefoot
                       C
We should measure your longest tooth
F
Ooh


[Verse 4]

       C                F
'Cause if your heart is too tiny
     C                  F
Mine is too big for our love to be
          Dm
We should forget about your size
G
 And focus on what you have


[Refrain]

    C             F
And if the wolves never show up
                 C                   F
It's 'cause they feel they know that you gave up
         Dm
I should teach you this brand new song
G
 So you can teach it to someone
F
Ooh


[Chorus]

C                        F
Oh, your heart is too tiny sometimes
                  C
I wish you were a wolf sometimes
                        G
What if sometimes was now?
    C                          F
And oh, your hand is too clever sometimes
                  C
I wish you were a wolf sometimes
                        G
What if sometimes was now?


[Verse 5]

C                                             F
Damn, girl,  thought about the wolves on your bulwark, 'cause there
                  C
It sounded like a stone dropped- of a knot from the top of a dead tree
 G
(dead tree, dead tree, dead tree, dead tree)


[Verse 6]

C                                      F
Damn, girl, I wanna fantasi- that's my problem
                  C                                G
And on my bike, I do sure get the feeling that the world is all mine
    C                               G
And can't come up with lyrics for a band that could be "in"
     C
But, why?
