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)
