[Intro]
B   Bb A  D (x3)
B   Bb A  D A
 
[Verse 1]
B                            B  Bb      A    D
I have a choice between the bat or the belt
B                            B    Bb          A    D
Each time I hear about the hand you've been dealt
B                              B  Bb       A    D
Spare me confession. It's confession you sell
B                            B  Bb     A
Maybe I'll fall behind. But I don't mind
 D             A
Because I'll catch up
 
[Interlude]
B                        A
I want a song that's indelible
       D
Like animal
   E
I hope you never see me wind up
 
[Instrumental]
B   Bb A  D
B   Bb A  D A
 
[Verse 2]
B                       B  Bb        A    D
Will I be happy on the back of the shelf
B                             B  Bb      A    D
Will you be happy when we're sharing a cell
B                                   B  Bb      A    D
Spare me your questions since you know me so well
B
Someday you'll realize
      B  Bb  A         D   A
That I get shy and I choke up
 
[Chorus]
B                        A
I want a song that's indelible
       D
Like animal
   E
I hope you never see me wind up
B                         A
What is wrong with this animal
       D
I'm terrible
   E
I hope you never see me wind up
 
[Bridge]
  G          B         F#
Farewell my sweet paramania
  G          B         F#   E
Farewell my sweet paramani___a
 
[Verse 3]
B                         B  Bb      A    D
My only promise is that I'll never tell
B                                 B  Bb        A    D
Keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
B                       B  Bb        A    D     B
I'll bite the bullet. Take the beating Until I take it back anyway
  B  Bb       A         D   A
What was I supposed to say?
 
[Outro]
B                        A
I want a song that's indelible
       D
Like animal
   E
I hope you never see me wind up
B                         A
What is wrong with this animal
       D
I'm terrible
   E
I hope you never see me wind up
