[INTRO]
Em
[VERSE ONE]
Em G
I am the wolf without a pack
B Em
Banished so long ago
G B
I've survived on another’s kill
Em
And on my shadow home
[CHORUS]
G B Em
All I've learned is that poison will sting
G B Em
No one remembers the names of martyrs or kings
G B Em
No one remembers much of anything
G B Em
That came this way before
[VERSE TWO]
Em G
I am the wolf combing the beach
B Em
Too hungry to shy away
G
The carcass of a leviathan
B Em
Sways gently on the waves
[CHORUS]
G B Em
I hope this shelter is enough to keep me warm
G B Em
Upstairs the heaven's giving birth to winter's storm
G B Em
But I've been dying since the day I was born
G B Em
That much I know is true
[INSTRUMENTAL]
G B Em
G B Em
[VERSE THREE]
Em G
I am the wolf high, wild and free
B Em
A picture on a shelf
G
I burn this house down to the ashes
B Em
A law unto myself
[CHORUS]
G B Em
All I've learned is that poison will sting
G B Em
No one remembers the names of martyrs or kings
G B Em
No one remembers much of anything
G B Em
That came this way before
G B Em G B
That came this way before
[OUTRO]
Em G B
I am the wolf
Em G B
I am the wolf
Em G B Em
I am the wolf
