Verse 1:
D
My dear extremely forlorn friend
Em7
I hear your love has stormed out the door
D
What a random act, but here's the fact
Em7
All is fair in love and war
               D                         Em
Well, you win some, and you lose some
          G                                C
But philosophy won't help you now
             D                   Em
So get it out of, of your system
                G                         C
Bang your fists and beat your brow
 
 
Chorus:
E                           F#m7
Howl like the wind, roar like the river
C#m7                 A
Wail like the rain, cry, shout, and shiver
E                        F#m7
Shake like a dog, hiss like a fire
C#m7                        A
Scratch out the moon, call love a liar
A
Call love a liar

Verse 2:
D
No need to claim the upper hand
Em7
Just tip your hat to the master plan
D
Go on out and get them back
       Em7
Use all your tricks any way you can
                 D                                  Em
'Cause you win some, and yeah, you lose some
          G                                C
But philosophy won't help you now
             D               Em
So get it out of your system
                G                         C
Bang your fists and beat your brow
 
 
Chorus:
E                           F#m7
Howl like the wind, roar like the river
C#m7                 A
Wail like the rain, cry, shout, and shiver
E                        F#m7
Shake like a dog, hiss like a fire
C#m7                        A
Scratch out the moon, call love a liar
A
Call love a liar
 
 
Bridge:
                 C#m
Before you start acting polite
          E
Sayin' everything's all right
               A                            C#m B
You gotta scream like a furious child
                 C#m
Before you mend all your fences
        E
Build up your defenses
                A                       C#m B
You got to Go just a little bit wild
                    C#m
You've got to swoon like a diva
       E
Just burn all the letters
               A
Where he swore he'd never leave you
N.C.
Burn his promises and leave that liar
 
 
Chorus:
E                           F#m7
Howl like the wind, roar like the river
C#m7                 A
Wail like the rain, cry, shout, and shiver
E                        F#m7
Shake like a dog, hiss like a fire
C#m7                        A
Scratch out the moon, call love a liar
 
 
Outro:
N.C.
Howl like the wind, roar like the river
N.C.
Wail like the rain, cry, shout, and shiver
E
Shake like a dog, hiss like a fire
C#m                   N.C.
Scratch out the moon, call love a liar
