Note: Yup, there is no acoustic guitars in this song. It's just
      electric guitar done by Jonny. But I put on the chords for
      acoustic users.

Verse 1:

Cmaj
Animals we are,

Amin                        G#min
Disposable, collapsable and raw,

Cmaj      Emin              A7
In you go into some crowded room,

Cmaj
And animals that climb,

Amin                                    G#min
And they're climbing over you until you say,

Cmaj                 Emin A7
"Off you go, off you go,"

Instrumental:

e|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
b|-9-4-5-9-4-|-9-4-5-9-4-|-9-4-5-9-4-|-9-4-5-9-4-|
G|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
D|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
A|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
E|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|

Verse 2:

Cmaj
Animal I am,

Amin                                    G#min
And I'm looking for an answer just like you,

Cmaj          Emin         A7
I should know which way to turn,

Cmaj
An animal that runs,

Amin                                G#min
And I ran away from you because I'm scared,

Cmaj                 Emin A7
"Off you go, off you go,"

Note: In the chorus, Jonny play the same tabs as in the intro.

Chorus:

C#min                  G#min
If you're gonna go, go now,

C#min                  G#min
If you're gonna go, go now,

C#min                G#min
I forgot to tell you now,

C#min              G#min
So if you're gonna go,

Emin G#min
Go   now,

Verse 3:

Cmaj
Animal you are,

Amin                        G#min
Disposable, defenceless yes and,

Cmaj              Emin            A7
Watch your mouth, boys watch your mouth,

Cmaj
I'm an animal that runs,

Amin                         G#min
And I made all my excuses to you,

Cmaj                   Emin        A7
And I missed my chance by a stones throw,

Note: Same as the first chorus, just electric guitar. But with some
      add-ons tabs at the end.

Chorus:

  C#min                  G#min
  If you're gonna go, go now,

  C#min                  G#min
  If you're gonna go, go now,

  C#min                G#min
  I forgot to tell you now,

  C#min              G#min
  So if you're gonna go,

  Emin G#min
  Go   now,

  Emin G#min
  Go   now,

G|-------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------|

Note: For electric guitar, just do the same thing as the above tabs.

Fade:

C#min
Now crumble,

C#min
Crumble and fall,

C#min                    Fmaj
Crumble and fall like an animal,

C#min
Yes I crumble,

C#min
Crumble and fall,

C#min                    Fmaj
Crumble and fall like an animal,

C#min
Yes I crumble,

C#min
Crumble and fall,

C#min                    Fmaj
Crumble and fall like an animal,

C#min
Yes I crumble,

C#min
Crumble and fall,

C#min                    Fmaj
Crumble and fall like an animal,

Note: Yes Chris play the piano but here it sounds like there is a piano
      & 2 electric guitars. So check it out. Well, it's just something
      which the live version don't have. I think Chris will be changing
      back to piano at the end of the instrumental just as he did for
      'Spies' in Glastonbury.
