E          B A E          B A
 I'm wearin',   fur pajamas
E          B A E          B A
 I ride a,      hot potato

[Verse 2]
E
 I wrestle with your conscience
E
 You wrestle with your partner
C             F       G
  Sittin' on a window sill, 
       C                 F           G
But he spends his time behind closed doors

[Chorus 2]
A
  Check out Mr. Businessman
      D
Oh oh oh
               E     D    A 
He bought some wild, wild life

 On the way to the stock exchange
      D
Oh oh oh
            E     D    A
He got some wild, wild life
A
Break it up when he opens the door
      D
Oh oh oh
         E     D    A
He doin' wild, wild life
A
 I know that's the way you like it
   D
Oh oh
       E     D    
Living wild, wild

[Verse 3]

   Peace of mind
C                     D  C
 It's a piece of cake
F#            G
   Thought control
C                    F        G
 You get on board anytime you like

[Verse 4]
C                 F         G
  Like sitting on, pins and needles
C                  F          G
 Things fall apart, it's scientific

[Chorus 3]
A
  Sleeping on the interstate
      D
Oh oh oh

Gettin' wild, wild life

I got a wild, wild life
A
  Spendin' all of my money and time
      D
Oh oh oh 
              E     D    A  
Done too much wild, wild life
A
 We wanna go, where we go, where we go
      D
Oh oh oh

I doin' wild, wild life
A
 I know it, that's how we start
   D
Oh oh

Got some wild, wild life
A
 Take a picture, here in the daylight
    D
Oh, oh
              E     D    A
And it's some wild, wild life
A
 You've grown so tall, you've grown so fast
      D
Oh oh oh
E     D    A
Wild, wild life
A
 I know that's the way you like it
    D
Oh, oh

[Outro]
       E          D          A        
Living wild wild, wild wild ... li-ife
