F F Ab Ab Bb Db Eb

[Verse 1]
F
We are simple creatures
F
We've got simple minds
F
We try to tell ourselves
      Ab                  Bb         F
We're better till the day we fucking die

Speak of God and love
F
A favorite counterfeit
F
As if we're not a bunch of
Ab                Bb        Db
Animals, we don't want to admit

[Pre-Chorus]
         Eb
We live illusions
                    Db
Disgusted by what's real
            Eb
We make excuses

Just to feel

[Chorus]
            F
Gimme those chemicals (chemicals)
Ab
Keep me up at night
  Bb
Taking my pain, taking my hurt
           F
And making me feel alright

Feeling like an animal (animal)
     Ab
Lost in fight or flight
  Bb
Taking my pain, givе me what's real
Db                Eb             F
Chemical brain, making mе feel alright

[Instrumental]
F x8

[Verse 2]
F
We feel a burning drive
F
To wake, to eat, to breed
                       Ab
To do whatever it will take
                Bb
To get that hit of dopamine
F
The way we get that hit
F
We try to justify
                                Ab
Some call it love, some call it devil
       Bb                 Db
Either way we still deny

[Pre-Chorus]
            Eb
We live illusions
                        Db
Disgusted by what's real
            Eb
We make excuses
          F
Just to feel

[Instrumental]
F x4

[Chorus]
F
Gimme those chemicals (chemicals)
     Ab
Keep me up at night
  Bb
Taking my pain, taking my hurt
    F
And making me feel alright

Feeling like an animal (animal)
     Ab
Lost in fight or flight
       Bb
Taking my pain, give me what's real
   Db             Eb             F
Chemical brain, making me feel alright
