[INTRO]
D#
[VERSE ONE]
G# My big brother rode an Indian Scout
G# D# It was black like his jacket
G# American Spirit hangin' outta his mouth
D# Just like our daddy
Cm G# D# He kicked started that bike one night and broke mama's heart
G# A# D# He pointed that headlight West, out where the wild things are
[VERSE TWO]
G# He'd call me up every couple of weeks
D# From South California
G# Talk about the desert and the Joshua Tree
D# And his pretty girl stories
Cm G# D# How he bought an Airstream trailer and a J 45 guitar
D# G# Said, "Little brother, you'd love it out here,
A# D# out where the wild things are"
[CHORUS]
Cm G# D# A# Oh, oh oh, it's hearts on fire and crazy dreams
Cm G# D# A# Oh, oh oh, the nights ignite like gasoline
G# D#/G Fm And light up those streets that never sleep when the sky goes dark
A# D# Out where the wild things are
[VERSE THREE]
G# I called my brother from the back of that plane
D# The second I made it
G# We started drinkin' on the strip in L.A
G# D# And then it got crazy
Cm G# D# Ended up at a house in the hills with some Hollywood stars
D# G# A# Cm Kissin' on a blonde in a backyard pool, out where the wild things are
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Cm G# D# A# .
[BRIDGE]
Cm G# A# (Oh, yeah)
G# Couple iron horse rebels
G# Wild as the devil
A# I knew I had to move back East
G# Said goodbye to my brother
G# At the end of that summer
A# But I knew he'd never leave
[CHORUS]
Cm G# D# A# Oh, oh oh, it's hearts on fire and crazy dreams
Cm G# D# A# Oh, where the nights ignite like gasoline
Cm G# D# A# And oh, oh oh, them Indian Scouts, man, they're built for speed
Cm G# D# A# And oh, oh oh, they said he hit that guardrail at half past three
G# D#/G Fm Lit up those streets that never sleep when the sky goes dark
G# D#/G Fm A# We buried him out in the wind 'neath the West Coast stars
D# G# Out where the wild things are
[OUTRO]
