[Verse]

Am
Cheap smoke
              F
Rising like a spirit in the
Am                             F
Soft glow of a New York street
              G
No glamour or garb can hide
                           D   Em
The animal heart inside of me

Am
Lost faith
                F
Martyrs with an axe to grind
Am                   F
Old hatreds tired & tamed
            G
Chasing the faintest trail

Solemn companion pale
   D                     Em
Protects me from my name


[Bridge]

Am                    F
Cold reflections they tell no lies
    D#m                   Am
But eyes just scratch the surface...


[Chorus]

Am    F
Don’t shake me
G             D       Am
Don’t make me bear my teeth
    F                  G         D
You really don’t wanna meet that guy
Am    F
Don’t wake me
G            D       Am
Don’t let it off the leash
          F              G          A#
There’s a monster livin’ under this hide

Am F

Am                 F
It's a dog's life


[Verse]

Am
Well it’s a dog’s life
             F
Holdin’ onto beauty while the
Am                                F
Bleak nights are makin’ beasts of men
              G
The fairytale days are dead

So try not to lose your head
         D                      Em
When the scent is calling again


[Bridge]

Am                    F
Cold reflections they tell no lies
    D#m                   Am
But eyes just scratch the surface...


[Chorus]

Am    F
Don’t shake me
G             D       Am
Don’t make me bear my teeth
    F                  G         D
You really don’t wanna meet that guy
Am    F
Don’t wake me
G            D       Am
Don’t let it off the leash
          F              G          A#
There’s a monster livin’ under this hide

Am                 F

[Bridge]

Am                F
Who’s evading the skin-clad wof?
  D#m                  Am
I hope the spoils were worth it...
Am                F
Who’s evading the skin-clad wolf?
    D#m                   Am
The eyes just scratch the surface...


[Chorus]

Am    F
Don’t shake me
G             D       Am
Don’t make me bear my teeth
    F                  G         D
You really don’t wanna meet that guy
Am    F
Don’t wake me
G            D       Am
Don’t let it off the leash
          F              G          A#
There’s a monster livin’ under this hide
