Standard (EADGBE)
Verse
Late in the day when the sun goes down
small animals are underground
In every yard in my hometown, small animals are underground
In the sewers and in the trees
even in their own documentaries
In places where you can't see, small animals are on TV
Chorus
But there is no reason no there is no reason to be frightened at all
But there is no reason no there is no reason to be frightened at all
Well the man on the bus said forget about us
If he kicked us off it'd only be just.
He'd like to kill everybody that he can't trust
Everyone says the world's girl crazy and
everyone thinks the world has gone boy crazy
Seems to me it's our only saving grace
But there is no reason no there is no reason to be frightened at all
Sometimes I think I've heard it all when people say anything but you came along
You made my stomach flip-flop. You made my heart go hip hop.
Instrumental verse
Near the highway by the overpass
small animals are in the tall grass
If you keep very quiet you will see them at last: small animals in tall tall grass
repeat chorus
But there is no reason no there is no reason
no there is no reason no there is no reason
there is no reason no there is no reason to be frightened at all
