D Bm I was sure I was right, G I was king for a day every night D I was wrong... I was wrong D Bm And I knew where to go every step was G a step up the road D I was on... I was on A G D G As I reach for the sky it was clear I couldn’t fly A Em F#m G Cause I’m not that animal Chorus: G D A Em F#m G All the animals are running after me G D Em F#m G A It’s all that I can do to stand on two feet G D A Em F#m G All the animals were running to the sea G D And I give it away every night every day A D Every word that I say I’m an animal... So I land on a stage And I find that I'm slipping away Let it roll, let it roll And the heart plays a game Trying to fool the reptilian brain In control, in control Where I fly or I fight Wanna look into your eyes There's nothing but animal there Chorus Em A So let your walls come crashing down Em A Let your dress fall to the ground Em G Let me see your smile let the call of the wild Bm A Be your words for a while be your song for a while Chorus I’m an animal You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  Em  F#m  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
