      D          A                    F#m
Wild roses on a bed of leaves in the month of May
            D               A    F#m
I think I wrote my own pain, oh don't you

      D               A                   F#m
Down by the creek, I couldn't sleep so I followed a feeling
                 D                       A F#m
Sounds like the vines, they are breathing
          D                A                     F#m
And I've seen the way the seasons change when I just give it time
            D            A     F#m
But I feel out of my mind all the time

        D          A       F#m
In the night I am wild eyed, and you got me now

Chorus:
    D                A                 F#m            E
Oh roses they don't mean a thing, you don't understand
                  D              A   F#m      E
But why don't we full on pretend, oh won't you
   D               A            F#m           E
Before I close my eyes I saw a moth in the sky
              D                  A    F#m      E
And I wish I could fly that high, oh don't you?

A serpent on a bed of leaves in the month of May
What do you want me to say?
(Oh it sounds like, it sounds like, it sounds like, it sounds, oh)
You keep me still when all I feel is an aimless direction
When I think I'm losin' connection
I see you

In the night I am wild-eyed, and you got me now
Dim the lights, we are wild-eyed, and you got me now

Chorus

    D         A F#m E
Oh don't you?
    D         A F#m E
Oh don't you?
        D            A       F#m               E
In the night we are wild eyed,  and you got me now
         D              A       F#m                E
Dim the lights, we are wild eyed,  and you got me now

        D         A       F#m
In the night I'm wild eyed,  and you got me now
