 D 

A     G      A           D 
I was always here in the silence 
    E     A     D          G 
But I was never under your eye 
Am     G       A            D 
Gather up your love in some wiseness 
    Em    A            D         G 
For every memory shall always survive 
Em  F#m G    Bm  Asus4 
And you will see me 


Dsus2 D(no 3rd)  A/D D(no 3rd) 
I     am    an   ani-mal 
Dsus2         D(no 3rd)    A/D        D(no 3rd) 
 My teeth are sharp and my mouth is full 
        Am 
And the passion is so strong 
         G                      D(no 3rd)  Dsus2  A/D  D(no 3rd)   
When I'm alone, loneliness will change me 


Dsus2 D(no 3rd)
