Elephants Rachael Yamagata
Capo on 3rd fret
If the [G]elephants have past lives
Yet are [C2]destined to always remember
Itā??s n[Em7]o wonder how they scream
Like you and [C2]I, they must have some temper
And Iā??[Am7]m dreaming of them on the plains
[G]Dirtying up their beds
[Am7]Watching for some sign of rain
To [G]cool their hot heads
And how [Em7]dare that you send me that card
When Iā??[G]m doing all that I ca[C2]n do
You are [G]forcing me to re[Em7]member
When all I [C2]want is to [D]just forget [Em]you
If the [G]tiger shall protect her young
Then [C2]tell me how did you slip by
All my [Em7]instincts have failed me for once
I must have [C2]somehow slept the whole night
And Iā??[Am7]m dreaming of them with their kill
[G]Tearing it all apart
[Am7]Blood dripping from their lips
[G]Teeth sinking into heart
And how [Em7]dare that you say you will call
When you [G]know I need some peace of [C2]mind
If you [G]had to take sides with the [Em7]animals
Wonā??t yo[C2]u do it wit[D]h one who i[Em]s kind
Instrumental: D Am D
If the [G]hawks in the trees need the dead
If youā??r[C2]e living, you donā??t stand a chance
For a [Em7]time though you share the same bed
There are [C2]only two ends to this dance
You can [Am7]flee with your wounds just in time
Or [G]lie there as he feeds
[Am7]Watching yourself ripped to shreds
[G]Laughing as you bleed
So for [Em7]those of you falling in love
Keep it [G]kind, keep it good, keep it [C2]right
Throw your[G]self in the midst of [Em7]danger
But keep [C2]one eye [D]open at [Em]night
