[Intro] Dm Am F G [Verse 1]
                 Dm                       Am
And the old religion humming in your veins

            F                       G
Some animal instinct starting up again

                     Dm                       Am
And I am wound so tightly, I hardly even breathe

                       F                          G
You wonder why we're hungry for some kind of release

                        Dm                      Am
So tired of being careful, so tired of being still

                            F                    G
Give me something I can crush, something I can kill
[Chorus]
Am                  Dm
  A lightning strike, a fallen tree

Am                F
  I'm not afraid, oh, don't let it find me

Am                    Dm
  But you can't outrun  yourself, you'll see

Am                   F
  And I'm powerless, oh, don't remind me
[Verse 2]
Dm                   Am                               F
And it's the old religion but the urge remains the same

                    C     G               Dm
Freedom from the body, freedom from the pain

                          Am                 F
And it's your troubled hero back for season six

                     C    G                  Dm
When it's at its darkest, it's my favourite bit
[Verse 3]
                        Am                  F
And I am wound so tightly, I hardly even breathe

                          G                     Dm
You wonder why we're hungry for some kind of release

                  Am
Watch me crawl on hands and knees

          F                    G
And scratch at the door of heaven
[Chorus]
Am                  Dm
  A lightning strike, a fallen tree

Am                F
  I'm not afraid, oh, don't let it find me

Am                    Dm
  But you can't outrun  yourself, you'll see

Am                     F
  And I'm powerless, I know and don't remind me
[Bridge]
Am                   Dm                      Am
 And it's the old religion humming in your veins

            F                       Am
Some animal instinct starting up again

                   Dm                      Am
And I am wound so tightly, I hardly even breathe

                     F                          Am
You wonder why we're hungry for some kind of release
[Chorus]
                  Dm
A lightning strike (And it's the old religion), a fallen tree

Am               F
 I'm not afraid, oh, don't let it find me

Am                   Dm
 But you can't outrun (And it's the old religion) yourself, you'll see

Am                  F                  Am
 And I'm powerless, oh, don't remind me
