Intro: Bb 
 
 
verse 1 
              Bb 
 You had your maps drawn 
                                  Gm 
 You had other plans to hang your hopes on 
                                    Cm 
 Every road they lead you down felt so wrong 
                      Eb 
 So you found another way 
              Bb 
 You've got a big heart 
                                       Gm 
 The way you see the world, it got you this far 
                                   Cm 
 You might have some bruises and a few scars 
                               Eb 
 But you know you're gonna be okay 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
                    Cm 
 Even though you're scared 
                          Eb 
 You're stronger than you know 
 
 
           Eb 
 If you're lost out where the lights are blinding 
 Gm  
 Caught in all, the stars are hiding 
 F                                    Gm 
 That's when something wild calls you home, home 
        Eb 
 If you face the fear that keeps you frozen 
 Gm 
 Chase the sky into the ocean 
 F                                    Gm 
 That's when something wild calls you home, home
 
 
Eb Bb F Gm 
Eb Bb F Gm 
 
 
verse 2 
               Bb 
 Sometimes the past can 
                                         Gm 
 Make the ground beneath you feel like a quicksand 
                                    Cm 
 You don't have to worry, reach for my hand 
                             Eb 
 And I know you're gonna be okay, you're gonna be okay 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
                    Cm 
 Even though you're scared 
                          Eb 
 You're stronger than you know 
 
 
           Eb 
 If you're lost out where the lights are blinding 
 Gm  
 Caught in all, the stars are hiding 
 F                                    Gm 
 That's when something wild calls you home, home 
        Eb 
 If you face the fear that keeps you frozen 
 Gm 
 Chase the sky into the ocean 
 F                                    Gm 
 That's when something wild calls you home, home

 Calls you home

 Calls you home 
           Gm 
 Calls you home 
           Bb 
 Calls you home 
           Eb 
 If you're lost out where the lights are blinding 
 Gm  
 Caught in all, the stars are hiding 
 F                                    Gm 
 That's when something wild calls you home, home 
 
           Eb 
 If you're lost out where the lights are blinding 
 Gm  
 Caught in all, the stars are hiding 
 F                                    Gm 
 That's when something wild calls you home, home 
        Eb 
 If you face the fear that keeps you frozen 
 Gm 
 Chase the sky into the ocean 
 F                                    Gm 
 That's when something wild calls you home, home
