[Verse 1] [B] I hear the drums

[Verse 2] [B] The wild dogs
[D#m] cry out in the
[G#m] night
As
[G#m/F#] they grow restless
[A] longing for some
[C#m] solitary
[G#m] compa
[A] ny
[A] [G#m] [C#m] [B] I know that
[D#m] I must do what's
[G#m] right
As sure as
[G#m/F#] Kilimanjaro
[A] rises like
O
[C#m] lympus above the
[G#m] Serenge
[A] ti
[A] [G#m] [C#m] [B] I seek to
[D#m] cure what's deep in
[G#m] side...
[G#m/F#] Frightened of this
[A] thing that I've become
