Anything But Tame

D G/A A7 D D F D G/A When our feet were tough as horn and our eyes were sharp as flint, A7 F#m7 D And our hearts beat like two war drums, and you tracked me by my scent, D G/A Cross a scape of shiny asphalt, that blacked our soles with tar, D A7 D And we ran like brave commanches, on a moonlit reservoir. G And you said, I don't wanna be tamed down, A7 F#m I just wanna saddle up, ride my broomstick pony, G Along some salt grass open plain, you really showed your hand, A/E Em7 Popping off tin cans with your daisy pump air rifle, A A7 Em D And your Annie Oakley aim, you were anything but tame. D G/A Ah you'd summon me with bird call, or you scratching at my screen, D/A A7 G/A D Your mouth gone sweet with juicy fruit, tawny legs and cut off jeans, G/A In my stretchy Ford Ranchero, Ah we rattled like train cars, A7 G/A D And we slung our share of gravel, 'neath a tarpoline of stars. D And you said G/A I don't wanna be tamed down, I don't wanna give an inch, F#m The fenced off picture perfect in your billfolds window frame, G Ah you were born to romp in this God forsaken swamp, A7 Em7 A A7 Dodging cotton mouths and quicksand on your tiptoes in the rain, D You were anything but tame. A7 G A G A7 G A G A Bm A Bm Em G Gmaj7 D Gm I heard Shreveport didn't last and we lit out for L.A, A7 F#m G D But when lightning claws the night up, I can see you plain as day, G/A And when I want to feel you near me, I crawl down off my cloud, A7 D And pull on down a bayou and cry your name out loud. G/A And you said, I don't wanna be tamed down, F#m I don't wanna tread regret, and flat out make excuses, G For the way I came up lame, I could have been enough, A7 Em7 To live this off the ciff on the cutting edge of nowhere, A F#m A7 F# Em7 D G/A Where the sun goes down in flames, we were anything but tame, A7 Dsus4/E D Dsus2/E D Anything but tame.
