Capo on 3rd fret G If the elephants have past lives C2 Yet are destined to always remember Em7 It’s no wonder how they scream C2 Like you and I, they must have some temper Am7 And I’m dreaming of them on the plains G Dirtying up their beds Am7 Watching for some sign of rain G To cool their hot heads Em7 And how dare that you send me that card G C2 When I’m doing all that I can do G Em7 You are forcing me to remember C2 D Em When all I want is to just forget you G If the tiger shall protect her young C2 Then tell me how did you slip by Em7 All my instincts have failed me for once C2 I must have somehow slept the whole night Am7 And I’m dreaming of them with their kill G Tearing it all apart Am7 Blood dripping from their lips G Teeth sinking into heart Em7 And how dare that you say you will call G C2 When you know I need some peace of mind G Em7 If you had to take sides with the animals C2 D Em Won’t you do it with one who is kind Instrumental: D Am D G If the hawks in the trees need the dead C2 If you’re living, you don’t stand a chance Em7 For a time though you share the same bed C2 There are only two ends to this dance Am7 You can flee with your wounds just in time G Or lie there as he feeds Am7 Watching yourself ripped to shreds G Laughing as you bleed Em7 So for those of you falling in love G C2 Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right G Em7 Throw yourself in the midst of danger C2 D Em But keep one eye open at night
