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,"

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,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/coldplay/animals_crd.html ]
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,

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.
