John Hiatt (born on August 20, 1952 in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.) is an American blues and rock guitarist, pianist, and singer-songwriter. He has been nominated for eleven Grammy Awards. Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. His songs have been covered by a wide variety of artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, Willie Nelson, Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and The Neville Brothers, yet it took him thirteen years to reach the charts himself.

Chords:
Verse: EmDEmD Sometimes I don’t even move a muscle EmDEmD Baby when you lie awake at night EmDEmD I think I’ve got nine lives in these corpuscles EmDEmD Cause girl, you know sometimes I don’t think right
Pre-Chorus: AG I hear voices in the hall A I wake up and it’s nothing at all G A hungry wolf, or an agry child
Chorus: EmD Or something wild EmD Something wild EmD Something wild - tell me love is EmD Something wild - tell me love is
Verse: It’s not as if we could think that things were one way And they would all just be that way right now When I was a kid I thought that someday I could tame this lion heart, some way, somehow
Pre-Chorus: Now I’m hungry for the love That doesn’t know what it’s dreamin’ of Raging for the meek and mild
Chorus: Like something wild Something wild Something wild - tell me love is EmDA Something wild - tell me love is
Bridge: AG There’s a hole where the wind blows through A And some curtains hung G But I can’t hid a thing from you B You know where I come from
(Solo 4 bars)
Final Verse: (Lead only, no Rhythm)
Well I tried getting there under my own steam ’til my very last chance was shot Now you’re under my skin like a submarine I can feel you in my veins running hot Now if it’s more than a new pair of jeans, a new car, some pocket money And a place to go Then we better get up and scream at the top of our lungs like it Was gonna die if we didn’t make it so
Pre-Chorus: I hear voices in the hall I wake up and it’s nothing at all An angry wolf, or a hungry child
Chorus: Or something wild Something wild Something wild - tell me love is Something wild - tell me love is
