Verse
E D
I was a wolf for so long, howlin' up toward the moon
A E
I devoured the defenseless sheep-like balloons
D
That were tied to a railing and would anyway soon
A B
Be deflated
E D
I met you in between my carnivorous meals
A E
And your hair was so soft and your body was real
D
And the layers of leaves blew away to reveal
A B
A new pathway
E D
Now I'm tryin' to hide my love away, be discrete
A E
But you're a reason to change and end my violent streak
D A
A reason to be normal, a reason to bleat like a sheep
B E
I just wanna be a sheep
B A
I just wanna be a sheep following right along with the crowds
B A
A ballon with my head floating up through the clouds
E D
And a little white string holding me to the ground
A B
Could that be you? It could be you
E D A
I just wanna be a sheep
E D A B
Oh, well, da-di-da-di-da-da
Verse
E D
Now the clock on the wall plays a sinister game
A E
It treats every twelve hours exactly the same
D
And you cannot return and you can't get away
A B
It keeps going
E D
And everything you've done you can never undo
A E
So I know that it's useless to try and be new
D
But when you keep your eye on me, steady and blue
A B
I keep trying anyways
E D
And that eye watching me makes me not want to hurt
A E
I don't want to draw anymore blood on your shirt
D
And I don't want to stay up and paw through the dirt
A
I need sleep
B E
I just wanna be a sheep
B A
I just wanna be a sheep and be gentle and docile and dumb
B A
And to hear a voice call me and know I must come
E D
And a shepherd to lead me and forget where I'm from
A B
Could that be you? It could be you
E D A
I just wanna be a sheep
E D A B
Oh, (howling) Okay
Verse
E D
Yes, I am the one who's been killing the flock
A E
I admit it and now that you're over the shock
D
Would you take me and keep me and turn back the clock
A
With your pretty little hand?
