Em
I'll show you all of the places I'm dreaming of
I'll take you to the ocean, I'll bring the sun
We are seventeen, we have just begun
I have love to fight for and then some
                Am                G
but you are the one, the one, the one, the one
    D/F#              F
The one, the one, the one, the one

Wake up in the morning, we're paralyzed
We'll fly into the garden like butterflies
There will be no blood and there'll be no pain
I want to fall in love with you again
Again again again again again again again again again

Chorus:
          Am            C
You have stolen all my senses
           Em
There's a fever in my heart
            Am           C
And you are taking my defenses
         Em
You are pulling me apart
Forever we're young and we are dying
And we will be spilling all our blood
So I will take away my feelings
I will be an animal
An animal
An animal

I'll tie you in my arms, I will smother you
We'll tell each other lies like we tell the truth
I'll colour in the sky and I'll colour you
I want to draw on your skin again
Again again again again again again again again

Chorus:
You have stolen all my senses
There's a fever in my heart
And you are taking my defenses
You are pulling me apart
Forever we're young and we are dying
And we will be spilling all our blood
So I will take away my feelings
I will be an animal
An animal
An animal

C        Am   Em       D
We will run away from danger
We will run away

Chorus:
You have stolen all my senses
There's a fever in my heart
And you are taking my defenses
You are pulling me apart
Forever we're young and we are dying
And we will be spilling all our blood
So I will take away my feelings
I will be an animal
An animal
An animal
