Gm F What was it that stayed my hand then? C With dagger held unsheathed, blade pointing in its side Gm F I'd been set upon by a predator C It was just looking for a meal, I saw ribs and fearful eyes Gm F What is it that stays my hand now? C With so much misery that I could mercifully put end to Gm F For that animal I let slink off into the undergrowth, unscathed C Do I not fear death, but just pretend to?Verse 1:
Gm Dm For it was starving, it was hungry C But had eyes too close to let me N.C. If you were easy to kill, I would have done it alreadyDm Ba-da-da-ah Bb Ah-ah, ah Gm Da-da-ah-ah Gm Ah-ah, ah-ahPost-Chorus
Gm F Plagued by phantom noises C That that skeletal beast was haunting all my steps Gm F Qustioning all my choices C With that dagger held unshathed, I felt sick at my contemptVerse 2:
Gm Dm For you were lonely, you were like me C Like some outside force had sent me N.C. If I was easy to kill, you would have done it alreadyDm Ba-da-da-ah Bb Ah-ah, ah Gm Da-da-ah-ah Gm Ah-ah, ah-ah Dm Ba-da-da-ah Bb Ah-ah, ah Gm Da-da-ah-ah Gm Ah-ah, ah-ahPost-Chorus
Dm F You are at my feet, we're by the fire Bb You're a gentle beast, and I'm alive Dm F You are at my feet, we're by the fire Bb You're a gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive Dm F You are at my feet, we're by the fire Bb You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive Dm F You are at my feet, we're by the fire Bb You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive Outro Dm F You are at my feet, we're by the fire Bb You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive Dm F You are at my feet, we're by the fire(Like an outside force had sent me?) Bb N.C. You're a gentle beast(If you were easy to kill, I would have done it already)Bridge:
