(Verse 1 )
Gadd2 Eb
I've been drowned out by the rain
C
Still I'm wishing I could stay
Db
But I'm sorry my old friend
C Gadd2
I've got to leave you once again
Eb
And despite what I might say
C
I measure pleasure by the pain
Db
Measure pleasure by the twisting
C Gadd2
Of the metal in the vein
Eb
And it might be very hard
C
Can't be more than what we are
D
Can't be more till it's over
(Chorus)
Em
Here comes the resurrection
G
Everybody's got to die from something
C A
Nothing ever left to leave you when you go
Em
I saw you strip my babies
G
Animal the way you cut them might be
C A
Animal the way I cut you from below
(Verse 2)
Gadd2 Eb
So you goad me into spite
C
It's the cruelty that you'd like
Db
It's the waiting for the one thing
C Gadd2
That you never could define
Eb
Fill the longing just because
C
Emasculate the ones you love
Have to wait till it's over
(Chorus)
Em
We are the less than mighty
G
Never was a way I thought it could be
C A
Never quite enough to leave you when you go
Em
I saw you strip my babies
G
Animal the way you cut them might be
C A
Animal the way I cut you from below

(Chorus - Outro)
Em
And if anger is the ending
G
Of the thing that we've become
C
For the mother and the father
A
And the sister and the son
Em
Through the shallow without wanting
G
Realization to mistake
C
Through the ugliness
A
The openings of the things we can't replace
Em
I will control
G
I will control
C
I will control
A
I will control
Em
I will control
G
I will control
C
I will control
