Hey Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend,

I wanna guard your dreams and visions.

      E
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims,

         A                                    B
And strap your hands across my engines.

        A                           Amaj7
And Together we could break this trap,

       F#m                          Amaj7                   E         B4

Oh will you walk with me out on the wire?

Girl, I'm just a scared and a lonely rider,

        C
But I gotta know how it feels,

      C#m7
I want to know if love is wild, baby,

    A                    B4
I want to know if love is real.
