[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Em C
I wrote a letter to a wildflower
C Em
On a classic nitrogen afternoon
Em C
Some power that hardly looked like power
C G
Said I'm perfect in an empty room
[Pre-Chorus]
D
Four dogs in the distance
Am
Each stands for a kindness, yeah
C
Bluebirds lodged in an evergreen altar
[Chorus]
G D Am
I'm gonna shine out in the wild silence
G D Am
I'm gonna shine out in the wild silence
G D Am
I'm gonna shine out in the wild silence
C
And spurn the sin of giving in
[Verse 2]
Oil paintings of X-rated picnics
Behind the walls of medication I'm free
Every leaf in a compact mirror
Hits a target that we can't see
[Pre-chorus]
Grass grows in the icebox
The year ends in the next room
It is autumn and my camouflage is dying
[Chorus]
Instead of time there will be lateness
Instead of time there will be lateness
Instead of time there will be lateness
And let forever be delayed
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
I dyed my hair in a motel void
Met the coroner at Dreamgate Frontier
He took my hand said "I'll help you boy,"
"If you really want to disappear"
[Pre-Chorus]
Four dogs in the distance
Each stands for a silence, yeah
Bluebirds lodged in an evergreen altar
[Chorus]
I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness
I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness (SM does his singing thing here)
I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness
Bm
And hold the world to its word
