[Riff]
C  C  C
[Verse 1]
AmI've been weeping Cmsilent lFike a wCound
CWould you stitch me up
COr let the blood soak through?Am  
Watching my Cmworld turn from wFmhite Fto maroCon
[Pre Chorus]
CIgnore my claws
CLook into my eyes
CAnd convince us both
That I'll last through the nAmight
[Chorus]
AmI could land on my feet if I tDmried
I never jumped a Amchasm so wide
And made it to the oppoCsite side
AmEven now, as we are, standing Dmhere
I can see the dAmoubt in your eyes
I can smell the animCal fear
(I can smell the animal fear)
[Verse 2]
AmHold my body, Fmtrembling Ffur and tCooth
I won't bite, or did I speak too sAmoon?
Treacherous Cmlight that iFmgniteFs the moCon
[Pre Chorus]
CAnd she calls my name
CAnd I howl her tune
CBut the hunters slay
By the clair of the mAmoon
[Chorus]
AmI was raised with my face to the Dmskies
But I was not a hAmeavenly child
Savage, with a tCemperament wild
AmEven here, as we are, standing Dmnow
I can see the Amfear in your eyes
I can taste the sCweat in your brow
CI 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)
