Em       Am7                        C
Suddenly something has happened to me
          D                Em
As I was having my cup of tea
         Am7               C
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
      D                      Em
I was utterly and totally stressed
        Am7              C D Em
Do you know you made me cry
        Am7              C D
Do you know you made me die

         Em                Am7
And the thing that gets to me
           C            D
Is you'll never really see
          Em                 Am7
And the thing that freaks me out
        C             D
Is I'll always be in doubt

Chorus:
G        D                    C
It is a lovely thing that we have
         D
It is a lovely thing that we
G        D                C
It is a lovely thing, the animal
    D
The animal instinct

So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no (Oh)
They will never make me die

And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt

    Em          Am7
The animal, the animal,
    C                   D
the animal instinct in me
         Em          Am7
It's the animal, the animal,
    C                   D
the animal instinct in me

It's the animal, it's the animal,
it's the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal,
it's the animal instinct in me

The animal, the animal,
the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal,
it's the animal instinct in me
