Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

- - x2

Verse

We are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees

 We are blisters on the earth

We are not the flowers, we're the strangling weeds

 In the meadow

 And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves

 When we don't want to live alone

 So step into the vacuum, tear off your clothes

 And be born again

Chorus

 Pretend that you're alone now

 And everything's gone

 Just animal reflex

 There's no one looking on

 Forget about fashion

 Forget about the law

Pretend that you're alone now

Verse

I wonder what I'd do, if I could wake up every morning

 With a clean slate

 I'd burn through the cities, I'd tear through the towns

 Cos there's no deals to make

 So break out of the cages, the delicate structures

 We cling to all our lives

 Cos we are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees

 When we were trying to fly

Chorus

 Pretend that you're alone now

 And everything's gone

 Just primal desire

 No right and no wrong

 Forget about the future

 Forget about blame

Pretend that you're alone now

Pretend that you're alone now

Solo

Bridge

SOLO played over):

She's not waiting for tomorrow

 And she has no love in her eyes

Oh no, I wanna come down right now

 But oh no(?), I wanna get out right now

Chorus

 Pretend that you're alone now

 And everything's gone

 Just animal reflex

 There's no one looking on

 Forget about religion

 Forget about shame

Pretend that you're alone now

Chorus

 No numbers in your phone now

 There's nothing going on

 Just primal desire

 No right and no wrong

 Forget about fashion

 Forget about fame

Pretend that you're alone now

Pretend that you're alone now

Pretend that you're alone now
