WHEN THE WILD LIFE BETRAYS ME
Jimmy Buffett
From the CD: Riddles In The Sand
MCA Records

Intro


Can't believe I'm still (C) here, with the morning so (G) near
And last night so un(D)clear
I see a trembling (C) hand, and a gold wedding (G) band
Wonder where do I (D) stand

When the wild life be(D)trays me, (C) and I'm too far from (G) home
Will you be there to (D) save me
And (G) shelter my heart till I'm (C) strong
Or will you just hang up the (G) phone

All my crazy old (C) lies, and my worn out dis(G)guise
Turns to tears in your (D) eyes
What a fool I have (C) been, there's no way I can (G) win,
Unless you take me back (D) in
 
When the wild life be(D)trays me, (C) and I'm too far from (G) home
Will you be there to (D) save me
And (G) shelter my heart till I'm (C) strong
Or will you just hang up the (G) phone

Solo

When the wild life be(D)trays me, And I'm too far from (G) home
Will you be there to (D) save me
And (G) shelter my heart till I'm (C) strong
Or will you just hang up the (G) phone
