James LeBlanc - Nature Of The Beast

      Nature of the Beast 
(James LeBlanc, Travis Meadows, Matt Warren)

[Intro]
Am

[Verse 1]
               Am                       F       C
Feel like I'm driven by forces I don't understand 
Am                    F         C
Led by the nose with invisible hands
Am                       F          C
Most of the time I don't know who I am
    Dm                     F
Or which wolf that I wanna feed

[Verse 2]
          Am                 F             C
There's a boy in this man that don't wanna grow up
        Am                  F             C
I go out of my way just to get myself stuck
   Am                F       C
I reckon too much is never enough
            Dm                   F
When you're wired for the hunt like me

[Chorus]
       F
And it does what it does
           C
And it runs like it runs
           G                         Am   G
And it pushes when you pull on the reins
        F
And the best you can do 
       C
Is the best you can do
    G                         F
I can't outrun what's in these veins
  Dm              Am        F
I head west but I wind up east
  Dm              Am       F
Ain't no cure for my disease 
           F       G      Am
That's the nature of the beast

[Verse 3]
Am               
It's a hill that I'm climbing
       F          C
Just a little too steep
       Am
It's a hole that I'm in 
       F          C
Just a little too deep
     Am                            F             C
That drives drunks and fools right down to their knees
Dm                                F
And we both know that I'm both of these

[Chorus]
       F
And it does what it does
           C
And it runs like it runs
           G                         Am   G
And it pushes when you pull on the reins
        F
And the best you can do 
       C
Is the best you can do
    G                         F
I can't outrun what's in these veins
  Dm              Am        F
I head west but I wind up east
  Dm              Am       F
Ain't no cure for my disease 
           F       G      Am
That's the nature of the beast

           C
And it runs like it runs
           G                         Am   G
And it pushes when you pull on the reins
        F
And the best you can do

That's the nature of the beast
