A               G          E  A     G

Whenever we hold each other----, we hold each other,

Asus2                       G6  Asus2                   G6

There's a feeling that's gone.  Something has gone wrong.

        Asus2             G6                Asus2      G6                   Asus2

And I don't know how much longer I can take it.  House made of heart, break it.

           G6                       Asus2       G6

Take my head in your hands and shake it in this near wild heaven.

 

CHORUS:

G6              Dadd9             A              G6

Not near enough (inside, living inside, living inside)  [2x]  Near wild heaven.

 

Whatever it takes, I'm giving.  It's just a gift I'm given.

Try to live inside.  Trying to move inside.

And I always thought that it would make me smarter, but it's only made me harder.

My heart thrown open wide in this near wild heaven.

 

CHORUS:

G6              Dadd9             A              G6

Not near enough (inside, living inside, living inside)  [4x]  Near wild heaven.

 

I'm holding my hands    together.     I'm holding my feet    together.

I'm holding myself    together    in this near wild heaven.

 

CHORUS:

G6              Dadd9             A              G6

Not near enough (inside, living inside, living inside)  [6x]  Near wild heaven.
