Tonality
Verse:
AmG
Murder lives forever
Dm
And so does war
F
Itʼs survival of the fittest
Am
rich against the poor
G
at the end of the day
Dm
Itʼs a human trait
F
sewn deep down inside of our DNA
Am
One man can build a bomb
G
another run a race
Dm
to save somebodyʼs life
F
and have it blow up in his face
AmG
Iʼm not the only one who finds it hard to understand
Dm
Iʼm not afraid of god
F
I Am afraid of man
Pre-chorus:
AmF
is it running in our blood
DmG
is it running in our veins
AmF
is it running in our genes
DmG
is it in our DNA
AmF
Humans arenʼt gonna behave
DmG
as we think we always should
AmF
yeah, we can bad
DmG
as we can good
Chorus:
AmFG
Underneath it all weʼre just savages
FDmG
hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
AmFG
How could we expect anything at all?
FDm
weʼre just animals still learning how to crawl
Verse:
Am
we live, we die
G
we steal, we kill, we lie
Dm
just like animals
FAm
but with far less grace
we laugh, we cry
G
like babies in the night
Dm
forever running wild
FAm
in the human race
another day,
G
another tale of rape
DmF
another ticking bomb to bury deep and detonate
AmG
Iʼm not the only one who finds it hard to understand
Dm
Iʼm not afraid of god
F
Iʼm afraid of man
Pre-chorus:
AmF
you can see it on the news
DmG
you can watch it on tv
AmF
you can read it on your phone
DmG
you can say itʼs troubling
humana arenʼt gonna behave as we think we always should
yeah, we can be bad as we can good
AmF
Humans arenʼt gonna behave
DmG
as we think we always should
AmF
yeah, we can bad
DmG
as we can good

Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave

Bridge:
DmAm
All the hate coming out from a generation
GF
who got everything and nothing guided by temptation
DmAm
were we born to abuse, shoot a gun and run
GF
or has something deep inside of us come undonE?
DmAm
is it a human trait or is it learned behaviour
GF
are you killing for yourself or killing for your saviour?

weʼre just animals still learning how to crawl
AmFG
Underneath it all weʼre just savages
FDmG
hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
AmFG
Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave
FDm
weʼre just animals still learning to behave
