Animal Fear

Am  C  Am  C

C  C  C

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

C
Ignore my claws
C
Look into my eyes
C
And convince us both
                            Am
That I'll last through the night

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)

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

C
And she calls my name
C
And I howl her tune
C
But the hunters slay
                     Am
By the clair of the moon

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)

Am  Dm  Am  Am  Dm  Am

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)
