This Ain't No Place For Animals

• C#m

Intro: C#m B 

C#m 
  The gasoline is mixing with the oxygen 
B 
  In this carousel, the silence is so surreal 
C#m 
  I've been misled through empty streets to the 
B 
Heart that never beats of a body that I can't keep 

Verse 1:
 
C#m                                    A         B 
  We're blessed with these horrors for highways 
           C#m                                      A 
This city turns, no longer content to just brush shoulders 
B         F#m  E   C#m 
  Have we lost our touch? 

Break 1:
 
C#m 
  A light goes on 

We throw our blankets aside 

It's been hours now and we still know nothing 
    B                  C#m 
The scars just don't heal the same, when we collide 

Pre-Chorus:
 
C#m                                 A   
  I'd never say that we step to the other side  
   B                               
To keep us from brushing shoulders 
C#m                                A                    B 
  But it's collisions we need to remind us that we're alive 


A                        B 
  I'd never say that you make me sick, but you're 
C#m 
Turning all the questions to cancers 
A                      B 
  Someone call in the emergency and we'll  
C#m 
Peel back the dressings so we can see 
A                             B 
  The kind of things that the surgeons see 
         C#m                          G#m 
When the blood work won't give us the answers 
A                              B                     C#m 
  They'll never tell us, cause they don't know whats 
C#m          A  B  
killing us 



Break 2:
 
C#m                                                      
  My heart's at a million miles an hour as we  
              C/G# 
Brace for the impact, it makes time stand still 
C#m                                              
  Forcing momentum into a moment so for a 
       C/G# 
Split second, I see your face 
C#m 
  In between all the broken glass hanging like a mobile 
C/G# 
This is a picture we'll never quite forget 

Bridge:
 
C#m 
  The surgeons pick, they pick at my body  
   
Their fingers dance, they dance all around me 
C#m 
  The surgeons pick, they pick at my body  
E                                      G#m 
  Their fingers dance, they dance all around me 
C#m 
  Hold still while they pick at my body  
E                                      G#m 
  Their fingers dance, they dance all around me 
A 
  Hold still while they pick at my body 
B         C#m             (G#m) 
  They'll dance all around me 

Build 
A                            B      C#m    G#m 
  Breathe your anesthetic words to slow us down. 
A                                    B 
  Tear back the skin to find, to chase a pulse back home. 

Chorus 

Outro: C#m C/G#
