CLOSER TO AN ANIMAL - Sonata Arctica
Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
[INTRO]
C#m G#m A E
C#m G#m A E
[VERSE]
E
I am a man
Am
You fell down from that apple tree the other day with me
E Am
We had already forgotten, we one day crawled up from the sea
E
Imagine now
Am
If we one day could build a flying contraption and see the world
C#m
What if we could some how store knowledge in a cloud
C
Draw a smiley face on the moon, find the meaning of life
[PRE-CHORUS]
E B
Riding the crest of our time
A
With bravado soon complete
B E B
We will see a new one rise behind us
A B
A new chance, a new world
[VERSE]
C#m G#m A
Our wave, it's about to break
E C#m G#m
And we're about to dive in the void
A
It echoes our fall
E C#m
Our paean to avarice
[CHORUS]
G#m A E
I think we're closer (ooh...)
C#m G#m
To an animal (ooh...)
A E
Everyday till we fall
[VERSE]
E
Can you believe
Am
We have all those eyes high in the sky and we can see the world
C#m
On thing truly makes me blind, the wisdom of hindsight
C
The eye in my own hand
[Pre-CHORUS]
E B
Riding the crest of our time
A
With bravado soon complete
B E B
We will see a new one rise behind us
A B C#m
A new chance, a new world
[CHORUS]
G#m A E
I think I'm closer (ooh...)
C#m G#m
To an animal (ooh...)
A E
Everyday till I fall
[BRIDGE]
D#m A#
If you want it all, you can have it all
B C#
But greed raises oceans too
D#m A#
When the glacier of our broken dreams
B C#
Melts in your champagne glass
Fm C
Someone knocks on your door four times
Db Eb
Sand in your hourglass
Fm C
Every grain is a day, falling
Db Eb
Finding it's rightful place
[SOLO]
D#m A#m B C#
D#m A#m B C#
[BRIDGE]
D#m A#m
If you want it all, you can have it all
B F#
But greed raises oceans too
D#m A#m
When the glacier of our broken dreams
B F#
Melts in your champagne glass
D#m A#m
Do we need it all, we can have it all
B F#
Our greed will raise oceans soon
B C#
And the glacier of our human dream
D#m F# B C# D#m F#
Gone with the champagne glass in the sea
(Spoken outro repeats last B C# D#m F# three times, ends 4th on D#m)
