This Bear Knew Chords & Lyrics - Misc Unsigned Bands - Harbor Drive Hookup

[INTRO]
[A] [A] [Bm] [A]

[VERSE 1]
[A]He never did quite like taking steps
[A]Even though it didn't seem to bother the rest
[Bm]He did as told, and fell in line
[A]But all it was was him playing kind
[A]
[A]There was something inside under all that hair
[A]He'd been dragged to city without a care
[Bm]For who he was or what struck his chord
[A]He longed for the stream and so he roared
[A]
[A]It wasn't that he wanted to hurt anyone
[A]But this kinda dancin' wasn't his kinda fun
[Bm]While the other bears seemed to go along
[A]He yearned for something that lived past the song
[A]
[A]He never understood why he felt so lost
[A]It wasn't that he didn't care for the boss
[Bm]He never ever really gave it a chance
[A]He just knew inside he wasn't born to dance

[CHORUS]
[Bm]You can judge a fish by how it climbs a tree
[A]But I don't think that's the way to be
[Bm]If you wanna be happy, it seems to me
[A]You gotta be true to the self you see
[Bm]You can take the bear from the stream
[A]But you gotta remeber brother that don't mean
[Bm]That he's not a bear so he took a stance
'Cause t[D]his bear [E]wasn't born to [A]dance

[VERSE 2]
[A]Even though this bear was kind of a runt
[A]He knew in his heart he was born to hunt
[Bm]It wasn't that he wanted to rock the boat
[A]He just couldn't live with a chain on his throat
[A]
[A]It was then decided that he'd be free
[A]And go back to the land of salmon and trees
[Bm]For that is where he's belong
[A]Listenin' tp the warbler sing that song
[A]
[A]No more tango, no more groove
[A]He waited for the time to make his move
[Bm]A hush fell over the gathering growd
[A]When he snapped the chain and it hit the ground
[A]
[A]They froze in fear and didn't know what to do
[A]Til he parted the crowd and walked right through
[Bm]He was headed to the river, to get him a snack
[A]This bear didn't break free, just to attack.

[CHORUS]
[Bm]You can judge a fish by how it climbs a tree
[A]But I don't think that's the way to be
[Bm]If you wanna be happy, it seems to me
[A]You gotta be true to the self you see
[Bm]You can take the bear from the stream
[A]But you gotta remeber brother that don't mean
[Bm]That he's not a bear so he took a stance
'Cause t[D]his bear [E]wasn't born to [A]dance

[CHORUS]
[Bm]You can judge a fish by how it climbs a tree
[A]But I don't think that's the way to be
[Bm]If you wanna be happy, it seems to me
[A]You gotta be true to the self you see
[Bm]You can take the bear from the stream
[A]But you gotta remeber brother that don't mean
[Bm]That he's not a bear so he took a stance
'Cause t[D]his bear [E]wasn't born to [A]dance
t[D]his bear [E]wasn't born to [A]dance
t[D]his bear [E]wasn't born to [A]dance
