Intro:DD G
My big brother rode an Indian Scout
D
It was black like his jacket
G
American Spirit hanginʼ outta his mouth
D
Just like our daddy
Bm G D
He kicked-started that bike one night and broke Mamaʼs heart
G
He pointed that headlight west
A D
Out where the wild things are
G
Heʼd call me up every couple of weeks
D
From South California
G
Talk about the desert and the Joshua Tree
D
And his pretty girl stories
Bm G D
How he bought an Airstream trailer and a J-45 guitar
G
Said, «Little brother, youʼd love it out here
A D
Out where the wild things are»
Chorus:Bm G D A
Oh, itʼs hearts on fire and crazy dreams
Bm G D A
Oh, the nights ignite like gasoline
G D
And light up those streets that never sleep
Em
When the sky goes dark
A D
Out where the wild things are
D G
I called my brother from the back of that plane
D
The second I made it
G
We started drinkinʼ on the strip in LA
D
And then it got crazy
Bm G D
Ended up at a house in the hills with some Hollywood stars
G
Kissinʼ on a blonde in a backyard pool
A Bm
Out where the wild things are
Instrumental:G D ABm G ABridge: G
Couple iron horse rebels
Wild as the devil
A
I knew I had to move back east
G
Said goodbye to my brother
At the end of that summer
A
But I knew heʼd never leave
Chorus:Bm G D A
Oh, itʼs hearts on fire and crazy dreams
Bm G D A
Oh, the nights ignite like gasoline
Bm G D
And oh, them Indian Scouts,
A
Man, theyʼre built for speed
Bm G D
And oh, they said he hit that guardrail
A
At half past three
G D
Lit up those streets that never sleep
Em
When the sky goes dark
G D
We buried him out in the wind
Em A
ʼNeath the West Coast stars
D
Out where the wild things are
D GA D
Out where the wild things are
