Verse 1
BmGBmG
Childhood living is easy to do
AmCDG
The things you wanted, I bought them for you
BmGBmG
Graceless lady, you know who I am
AmCDG
You know I can’t let you slide through my hands
Chorus
AmCDG
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
AmCDG
Wild, wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Verse 2
BmGBmG
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
AmCDG
Now you decided to show me the same
BmGBmG
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
AmCDG
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Chorus
AmCDG
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
AmCDG
Wild, wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Verse 3
BmGBmG
I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
AmCDG
I have my freedom but I don’t have much time
BmGBmG
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
AmCDG
Let’s do some living after we die
Chorus
AmCDG
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
AmCDG
Wild, wild horses, we’ll ride them someday
