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

              C      G
There'll be hell to pay

           C         Em          Bm
Though the world may be out of excuses

        C                 G
I know just what I would say

                 C       G
Let the seven trumpets sound

              C        G
As a locust sky grows dark

                  Em           Bm 
But first let's take you on a quick tour 

           C              G
of your creation's handiwork
[Instrumental] C G [Verse]
                        C            G
Barely got through the prisons and stores

                   C                 G
And the pale host looks a little sick, Says, "Jesus,

           Em                                 Bm
you didn't leave a whole lot for me. If this isn't hell

              C                     G
already then tell me what the hell is?"
C G [Chorus 1]
          B                C
And we say it's just human, human nature

Em
This place is savage and unjust

B
We crawled out of the darkness

C
And endured your impatience

Em
We're more than willing to adjust

                       Edim          G  Gsus2
And now you've got the gall to judge us
[Verse]
             C        G
The spider spins his web

             C        G
The tiger stalks his prey

              Em             Bm    
And we steal fire from the heavens 

           C                 G
to try to keep the night at bay
C G
              C      G
Every monster has a code

                      C        G
One that steadies the shaking hand

            Em                     Bm       
And he's determined to accrue more capital 

       C              G
by whatever means he can
[Instrumental] C G [Chorus 1]
   B               C
Oh, it's just human, human nature

C                              Em
We've got these appetites to serve

B                                C
You must not know the first thing about human beings

C                                Em
We're the earth's most soulful predator

                     Edim                           G
Try something less ambitious the next time you get bored

       Gsus2 D
Oh, my Lord
[Outro]
               C           G
We just want light in the dark

       C            G
Some warmth in the cold

            Em               Bm       
And to make something out of nothing 

            C                 G
sounds like someone else I know
