C                             F 
        I was talking to Chuck in his Genghis Khan suit 
                C 
        and his wizard's hat 
                                  F 
        He spoke of his movie and how he was making 
          C 
        a new soundtrack 
 
            A#               F           C 
        And then we spoke of kids on the coast 
            A#                 F       C 
        and different types of organic soap 
            A#         F                 C 
        And the way suicides don't leave notes 
                         G 
        Then we spoke of Lorraine 
 
        always back to Lorraine 
 
        C                              F 
        I was speaking to Phil who was given to pills 
                  C 
        and small racing cars 
                                      F 
        He had given 'em up since his last crack-up 
                    C 
        had carried him too far 
 
        A#               F           C 
        Then we spoke of movies and verse 
            A#         F                C 
        and the way an actress held her purse 
            A#              F               C 
        And the way life at times could get worse 
                         G 
        Then we spoke of Lorraine 
 
        always back to Lorraine 
 
            C            F 
        Ah, she's a wild child 
            C              F 
        and nobody can get at her 
        C            F 
        She's a wild child 
                C              F 
        oh, and nobody can get to her 
 
        Am                                         
        Sleeping out on the street 
        F          C   F      
        Oh, living all alone 
        C                    F 
        without a house or a home 
                                Em 
        and then she asked you, please 
                  G 
        hey baby, can I have some spare change 
                             C 
        Oh, can I break your heart 
 
                     F     C 
        She's a wild child 
                     F     C 
        she's a wild child 
 
        C                      F 
        I was talking to Betty about her auditions 
                 C 
        how they made her ill 
                                   F 
        The life of the theater is certainly fraught 
                  C 
        with many spills and chills 
 
        A#                  F          C 
        But she calmed down after some wine 
        A#                    F           C 
        which is what happens most of the time 
        A#              F             C 
        Then we sat and both spoke in rhyme 
                         G 
        Till we spoke of Lorraine 
 
        ah, it's always back to Lorraine 
 
        C                              F 
        I was talking to Ed who'd been reported dead 
           C 
        by mutual friends 
                                F 
        He thought it was funny that I had no money 
        C 
        to spend on him 
 
        A#                  F              C 
        So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese 
        A#              F             C 
        and sang of our lives and our dreams 
        A#                      F            C 
        And how things can come apart at the seams 
                         G 
        And we talked of Lorraine 
 
        always back to Lorraine 
 
        C            F 
        She's a wild child 
                C              F 
        oh, and nobody can get at her 
        C            F 
        She's a wild child 
                C              F 
        oh, and nobody can get to her 
 
        Am                          
        Sleeping out on the street 
        F          C   F 
        Oh, living all alone 
        C                    F 
        without a house or a home 
                                Em 
        and then she asked you, please 
                 G 
        oh baby, can I have some spare change 
                             C 
        Now can I break your heart 
 
                     F     C 
        She's a wild child 
                     F     C 
        she's a wild child
