"This Aint No Place For Animals"
Submitted by Egil

Key of E MajorE

Intro: C#m, BB
C# minorC#m
 The gasoline is mixing with the oxygen
BB
 In this carousel, the silence is so surreal
C# minorC#m
 I've been misled through empty streets to the
BB
Heart that never beats of a body that I can't keep

Verse 1
C# minorC#m                  A augmentedA     BB
 We're blessed with these horrors for highways
      C# minorC#m                   A augmentedA
This city turns, no longer content to just brush shoulders
BB     F# minorF#m E MajorE  C# minorC#m
 Have we lost our touch?

Break 1
C# minorC#m
 A augmentedA light goes on

We throw our blankets aside

It's been hours now and we still know nothing
  BB         C# minorC#m
The scars just don't heal the same, when we collide

Pre Chorus
C# minorC#m                 A augmentedA
 I'd never say that we step to the other side
  BB
To keep us from brushing shoulders
C# minorC#m                A augmentedA          BB
 But it's collisions we need to remind us that we're alive

Chorus
A augmentedA            BB
 I'd never say that you make me sick, but you're
C# minorC#m
Turning all the questions to cancers
A augmentedA           BB
 Someone call in the emergency and we'll
C# minorC#m
Peel back the dressings so we can see
A augmentedA               BB
 The kind of things that the surgeons see
     C# minorC#m             G# minorG#m
When the blood work won't give us the answers
A augmentedA               BB           C# minorC#m
 They'll never tell us, cause they don't know whats
C# minorC#m     A augmentedA BB
killing us

Break 2
C# minorC#m
 My heart's at a million miles an hour as we
       C/G#
Brace for the impact, it makes time stand still
C# minorC#m
 Forcing momentum into a moment so for a
    C/G#
Split second, I see your face
C# minorC#m
 In between all the broken glass hanging like a mobile
C/G#
This is a picture we'll never quite forget

Bridge
C# minorC#m
 The surgeons pick, they pick at my body

Their fingers dance, they dance all around me
C# minorC#m
 The surgeons pick, they pick at my body
E MajorE                   G# minorG#m
 Their fingers dance, they dance all around me
C# minorC#m
 Hold still while they pick at my body
E MajorE                   G# minorG#m
 Their fingers dance, they dance all around me
A augmentedA
 Hold still while they pick at my body
BB     C# minorC#m       (G# minorG#m)
 They'll dance all around me

Build
A augmentedA              BB   C# minorC#m  G# minorG#m
 Breathe your anesthetic words to slow us down.
A augmentedA                  BB
 Tear back the skin to find, to chase a pulse back home.

Chorus

Outro: C#m, C/G#

THE END!
