I am a lone wolf 
C 
a beauty and a beast 
F 
both hunter and hunted 
Am 
soft tounge and sharp teeth 
Bb 
Im toned from my travels 
C 
yet raw from this road 
F 
as I drink from storm puddles 
Am 
and the stories Im told 
 
Bb 
Help me figure this out 
C 
help me figure you in 
F 
you re a shadow to me 
Am 
that I echo when I sing 
Bb 
Help me figure this out 
C                     F 
help me figure you in

To this simple little melody 
 
I have seen angels 
they were sleeping in gutters 
they were standing in bank lines 
they were jumping from towers 
they were calling like seagulls 
but nobody heard 
such a beautiful message 
from such a common bird 
 
We want freedom for ourselves 
but we cant give it to each other 
We want peace between nations 
yet we battle with our lovers 
were blinded by billboards 
and trying to get ahead 
choking on ambition 
and the words left unsaid 
 
I am a lone wolf 
a beauty and a beast 
both hunter and hunted 
soft tounge and sharp teeth 
Im toned from my travels 
yet raw from this road 
as I drink from storm puddles 
and the stories Im told 
 
Help me figure this out 
help me figure you in 
youre a shadow to me 
that I echo when I sing 
help me figure this out 
help me figure you in
