[Opening]
[A] [Bm] [G] [G] [A] [Bm] [G] [G]
Don’t know what to [A]say to you [Bm]now, [G]standing right in front of you

Losing a little [A]guard, let it [Bm]down
[G]We don’t have to think it through, we’ve got to let [D]go

[chorus]
I wanna give you [A]wild [Bm]love, the kind that never [G]slows down
I wanna take you [A]high [Bm]up, let our [G]hearts be the only sound
[A]I wanna go where the [Bm]lights burn low and you’re [G]only mine
I wanna give you [A] [Bm]wild [G]love

[verse 2]
Tried to [A]call you, to [Bm]feel you [G]close, from a [A] [F#m]runway in [G]Tokyo
Let’s leave the [A]atmosphere, [Bm]disappear, [G]there’s always something left to loose

[chorus]
But I wanna give you wild [Bm]love, the kind that never [G]slows down
I wanna take you [A]high [Bm]up, let our [G]hearts be the only sound
[A]I wanna go where the [Bm]lights burn low and you’re [G]only mine
I wanna give you [A] [Bm]wild [G]love, I wanna give you [A] [Bm]wild [G]love

[verse 3]

(I wanna give you [Am]wild [Bm]love), (I wanna give you [G]wild love)
Let’s be [A]reckless, [Bm]unaffected, running [G]out until we’re breathless
Let’s be [A]hopeful, don’t get [Bm]broken, and stay [G]caught up in the moment

[chorus]
But I wanna give you wild [Bm]love, the kind that never [G]slows down
I wanna take you [A]high [Bm]up, let our [G]hearts be the only sound
[A]I wanna go where the [Bm]lights burn low and you’re [G]only mine
I wanna give you [A] [Bm]wild [G]love, I wanna give you [A] [Bm]wild [G]love
