[Intro] D G [Verse]
D                G      D
When the god of love returns

              G      D
There'll be hell to pay

                    Bm          D/F#
Though the world may be out of excuses

        G                 D
I know just what I would say

                 G       D
Let the seven trumpets sound

              G         D
As a locust sky grows dark

                  Bm            D/F#                G              D
But first let's take you on a quick tour of your creation's handiwork
G D [Verse]
                          G           D
Barely got through the prisons and stores

                     G             D
And the pale horse looks a little sick

                           Bm                D/F#
Says, "Jesus, you didn't leave a whole lot for me

                                  G                   D
If this isn't hell already then tell me what the hell is?"
G D [Chorus]
             F#              Am
And we say it's just human, human nature

G                 Bm
This place is savage and unjust

F#
We crawled out of the darkness

Am
And endured your impatience

G                           Bm
We're more than willing to adjust

                       Bdim          D  Dsus4 Dsus2 A
And now you've got the gall to judge us
[Verse]
             G        D
The spider spins his web

             G        D
The tiger stalks his prey

              Bm             D/F#              G                 D
And we steal fire from the heavens to try to keep the night at bay
G D
              G      D
Every monster has a code

                        G      D
One that steadies the shaking hand

            Bm                      D/F#         G                D
And he's determined to accrue more capital by whatever means he can
G D [Chorus]
F#                   Am
Oh, it's just human, human nature

G                              Bm
We've got these appetites to serve

F#                               Am
You must not know the first thing about human beings

G                                Bm
We're the earth's most soulful predator

                     Bdim                           D
Try something less ambitious the next time you get bored

Dsus4  A
Oh, my Lord
[Outro]
               G           D
We just want light in the dark

       G            D
Some warmth in the cold

              Bm               D                 G             D
And to make something out of nothing sounds like someone else I know
