Song: An Animal In Your Care Artist: Wolf Parade Album: At Mount Zoomer, Sub-Pop, 2008 --------------------------------------------------------------------- All chords are barred, unless tabbed out (well, the E/Em's are open) --------------------------------------------------------------------- E Time after time G#m You will forgive me G B Like an animal in your care E But give it time G#m You will outlive me G B And take the bow back you put in my hair E G#m Made a parade of myself in the street outside your house G B For the New York photographer there E G#m I fell for crime and I fell for beauty G B I fell for you because you're the only one that cared ------------------------------------------ C And when I die G You can put on costumes Em In the style of the clothes I wore C G And sing the songs your lover taught you Em E When you were too young to know that this was what they were for.
