Elephants chords and lyrics - RACHAEL YAMAGATA

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]If the elephants have past lives yet are
[C]destined to always remember
It's no [Em]won der how they scream
Like you and [C]I they must
have some temper
And I am [Am]dreaming of them on the
plains [G]dirtying up their beds
[Am]Watching for some kind of rain to
[G]cool their hot heads
And how [Em]dare that you send me that card
[C]when I'm [G]doing all that I can [C]do
You are for[G]cing me to remem[Em]ber
when all I [C]want is to [D]just forget [Em]you
[C]If the ti[Dsus4]ger shall[G] protect her young
then [C]tell me how did you slip by
All my [Em]instincts have failed me for once I must
[C]have somehow slept the whole night

[Verse 2]
And I am [Am]dreaming of them with
their kill [G]tearing it all apart
[Am]Blood dripping from their lips and
[G]teeth sinking in too hearts
And how [Em]dare that you say you will call when
[G]you know I need some peace of [C]mind
If you [G]had to take sides with the [Em]an imals won't
you [C]do it with [D]one who is kind?

[Interlude 1]
[Em][D][Am][D]

[Verse 3]
If the [Em]hawks in the trees need the dead if
you're [Bm]living you don't stand a [D]chance
[Em]You can lie there and say you are fed but
there are [Bm]only two ends to this [D]dance
You can [Am]flee with your wounds just in
time or [G]lie there as he feeds
[Am]Watching yourself ripped to shreds
and [G]laughing as you bleed

[Verse 4]
So for [Em]those of you falling in love keep
it [G]kind keep it good keep it [C]right
Throw your[G]self in the midst of [Em]danger
but keep [C]one eye [D]open at [Em]night
