[Intro] Dm Am F G [Verse] Dm Am And the old religion humming in your veins F G Some animal instinct starting up again Dm And I am wound so tightly, Am I hardly even breathe F You wonder why we're hungry G for some kind of release Dm So tired of being careful, Am so tired of being still F Give me something I can crush, G something I can kill [Chorus] Am A lightning strike, Dm a fallen tree Am F I'm not afraid, oh, don't let it find me Am But you can't outrun Dm yourself, you'll see Am And I'm powerless, F oh, don't remind me [Verse] Dm Am And it's the old religion F but the urge remains the same C Freedom from the body, G Dm freedom from the pain Am F And it's your troubled hero back for season six C When it's at its darkest, G Dm it's my favourite bit [Verse] Am And I am wound so tightly, F I hardly even breathe G You wonder why we're hungry for Dm some kind of release Am Watch me crawl on hands and knees F G And scratch at the door of heaven [Chorus] Am A lightning strike, Dm a fallen tree Am I'm not afraid, F oh, don't let it find me Am But you can't outrun Dm yourself, you'll see Am And I'm powerless, F I know and don't remind me [Bridge] Am Dm Am And it's the old religion humming in your veins F Am Some animal instinct starting up again Dm And I am wound so tightly, Am I hardly even breathe F You wonder why we're hungry Am for some kind of release [Chorus] Dm A lightning strike (And it's the old religion), a fallen tree Am F I'm not afraid, oh, don't let it find me Am But you can't outrun Dm (And it's the old religion) yourself, you'll see Am And I'm powerless, F Am oh, don't remind me
