Text size
 
Capo on 4th fret
              
 
 
 
Intro: spoken 
When the event happens, there is little time to think 
of those things that people would like to have remain private 
Getting caught up in the circus like atmosphere, 
feeling less responsible to conventional ethical practices 
 
Em D G C 
Em D G C 
 
 
verse 1 
        G                                       D 
Never good just the bad and the ugly, laid in front of you 
                     C                             G 
Nothing quite like seeing the world through the TV's we know 
         G                                     D 
Feeling helpless I look for distraction, I go searching for you 
                       C                                G     
Wandering through our city to find some solace at your door 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
                        G 
I can't stop thinking about it 
                        C 
I can't stop thinking about it 
         Em              Am  Bm    Em 
Tell me did you see the news to - night 
 
 Em      D       G           C 
Hold me in this wild, wild, world 
               Em                  D 
Cause in your warmth I forget how cold it can be 
             G               C 
And in your heat I feel how cold it can get 
 Em      D       G           C 
Hold me in this wild, wild, world 
               Em                  D 
Cause in your warmth I forget how cold it can be 
             G               C 
And in your heat I feel how cold it can get, now draw me close 
 
verse 2 
        G                                      D 
So come on let's forget the emotion, tie the blinkers on 
                       C                          G 
Hold both hands right over my eyes, deafen me with music 
             G                                       D 
'Till we're lost in the heat of the moment, and I'm moving and you 
                    C                           G 
Help me keep these hours alive, help me chase those seconds 
 
Pre-Chorus 
                      G 
I just keep talking about it 
                      C 
But I'll do nothing about it 
         Em              Am   Bm    G 
Tell me did you see the news last night 
 
 Em      D       G           C 
Hold me in this wild, wild, world 
               Em                  D 
Cause in your warmth I forget how cold it can be 
             G               C 
And in your heat I feel how cold it can get 
 Em      D       G           C 
Hold me in this wild, wild, world 
               Em                  D 
Cause in your warmth I forget how cold it can be 
             G               C 
And in your heat I feel how cold it can get, now draw me close

Hold me in this wild, wild, world 
 
Em D G C 
 
 Em      D       G           C 
Hold me in this wild, wild, world 
               Em                  D 
Cause in your warmth I forget how cold it can be 
             G               C 
And in your heat I feel how cold it can get 
 Em      D       G           C 
Hold me in this wild, wild, world 
               Em                     D 
Cause in your heat I forget, in your heat I forget 
         G                      C 
In your heat I forget, in your heat I forget 
    Em       D     G        C 
So hold me close, hold me close
