VERSE:
C                            Em               F
We are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees
       C                      Em   Dm7
We are blisters on the earth
C                                  Em        F
We are not the flowers, we're the strangling weeds
        C      Em   Dm7
In the meadow

    C                               Em            F
And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves
              C                   Em   Dm7
When we don't want to live alone
    C                     Em           F
So step into the vacuum, tear off your clothes
       C            Em    Dm7
And be born again

CHORUS:
   Gsus4
Pretend that you're alone now
    Asus4        Fsus2
And everything's gone
     Gsus4
Just animal reflex
        Asus4          Fsus2
There's no one looking on
   Gsus4
Forget about fashion
   Asus4          Fsus4
Forget about the law
Gsus4
Pretend that you're alone now

VERSE:
C                                 Em           F
I wonder what I'd do, if I could wake up every morning
        C            Em   Dm7
With a clean slate
    C                            Em                F
I'd burn through the cities, I'd tear through the towns
                C             Em  Dm7
Cos there's no deals to make
          C                     Em       F
So break out of the cages, the delicate structures
            C               Em  Dm7
We cling to all our lives
        C                         Em             F
Cos we are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees
              C                 Em   Dm7
When we were trying to fly

CHORUS:
   Gsus4
Pretend that you're alone now
    Asus4        Fsus2
And everything's gone
     Gsus4
Just primal desire
    Asus4        Fsus2
No right and no wrong
   Gsus4
Forget about the future
   Asus4     Fsus4
Forget about blame
Gsus4                         (Fsus2)
Pretend that you're alone now
Gsus4
Pretend that you're alone now

C      Em  F           C
She's not waiting for tomorrow

And she has no love in her eyes
F  G     Em                     Dm
Oh no, I wanna come down right now

No right and no wrong

Forget about fashion
