Marika Hackman – Animal Fear (Guitar Acoustic)

Am                Cm      F      C
I've been weeping silent like a wound

C
Would you stitch me up

C                               Am
Or let the blood soak through?

            Cm               Fm   F      C
Watching my world turn from white to maroon

C
Ignore my claws

C
Look into my eyes

C
And convince us both

                            Am
That I'll last through the night

Am                            Dm
I could land on my feet if I tried

                 Am
I never jumped a chasm so wide

                       C
And made it to the opposite side

Am                            Dm
Even now, as we are, standing here

               Am
I can see the doubt in your eyes

                    C
I can smell the animal fear

Am            Fm        F        C
Hold my body, trembling fur and tooth

                                  Am
I won't bite, or did I speak too soon?

            Cm          Fm   F       C
Treacherous light that ignites the moon

C
And she calls my name

C
And I howl her tune

C
But the hunters slay

                     Am
By the clair of the moon

Am                               Dm
I was raised with my face to the skies

                 Am
But I was not a heavenly child

                C
Savage, with a temperament wild

Am                             Dm
Even here, as we are, standing now

              Am
I can see the fear in your eyes

                 C
I can taste the sweat in your brow

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)

C
(I can smell the animal fear)

C
(I can smell the animal fear)
