[Verse 1]
Am Cm F C
I've been weeping silent like a wound
C
Would you stitch me up
C Am
Or let the blood soak through?
Cm Fm F C
Watching my world turn from white to maroon
[Pre Chorus]
C
Ignore my claws
C
Look into my eyes
C
And convince us both
Am
That I'll last through the night
[Chorus]
Am Dm
I could land on my feet if I tried
Am
I never jumped a chasm so wide
C
And made it to the opposite side
Am Dm
Even now, as we are, standing here
Am
I can see the doubt in your eyes
C
I can smell the animal fear
(I can smell the animal fear)
[Verse 2]
Am Fm F C
Hold my body, trembling fur and tooth
Am
I won't bite, or did I speak too soon?
Cm Fm F C
Treacherous light that ignites the moon
[Pre Chorus]
C
And she calls my name
C
And I howl her tune
C
But the hunters slay
Am
By the clair of the moon
[Chorus]
Am Dm
I was raised with my face to the skies
Am
But I was not a heavenly child
C
Savage, with a temperament wild
Am Dm
Even here, as we are, standing now
Am
I can see the fear in your eyes
C
I can taste the sweat in your brow
C
I can smell the animal fear
C
(I can smell the animal fear)
[Instrumental]
Am Dm Am Am Dm Am
[Outro]
C
(I can smell the animal fear)
C
(I can smell the animal fear)
C
(I can smell the animal fear)
C
(I can smell the animal fear)
