Circling The Cage

G                                     D
 Two years go by, and two breaths and I am
           Am                                  Em
So close to coming down, It’s been a hell of a ride
                          C
You’ve been so much of my life, and I don’t wanna hurt you but
G                                          D
 You’re still the same and I just keep changing
               Am                             Em
And I like who I’m becoming, Growing into my skin
                  C
Places I’ve never been


[Chorus]
                   G                            D
And I wish I could bring you with me but I can’t

I’m not expecting you to understand
      Am
I’m a butterfly circling the cage right now
C
Circling the cage and I, I
                  G                       D
The truth is I am better off all by myself

I’m not expecting you to take this well
      Am
I’m a butterfly circling the cage right now
C
Circling the cage and I, I
                 G   D  Am  C
I’m dying to get out


[Verse 2]
G                                  D
 Four in the morning, without a warning
Continues after the ad
           Am                               Em
It hits me like a wave and I come crumbling down
                        C
Thinking ‘bout you not around, I keep going back and forth
G
I could run forever, never face you myself
        D
I could push you to the edge and probably drag you through hell
                  Am
But I don’t wanna do that no more
    Em
And put you through that no more
        C
I gotta go to sit alone


[Chorus]
                   G                            D
And I wish I could bring you with me but I can’t

I’m not expecting you to understand
      Am
I’m a butterfly circling the cage right now
C
Circling the cage and I, I
                  G                       D
The truth is I am better off all by myself

I’m not expecting you to take this well
      Am
I’m a butterfly circling the cage right now
C
Circling the cage and I, I
                 G   D  Am  C
I’m dying to get out


[Bridge]
G
 You’re still the same and
                D
I just keep changing
               Am
And I like who I’m becoming
                 Em
Growing into my skin
                  C
Places I’ve never been


[Chorus]
                   G                            D
And I wish I could bring you with me but I can’t

I’m not expecting you to understand
      Am
I’m a butterfly circling the cage right now
C
Circling the cage and I
                  G                       D
The truth is I am better off all by myself

I’m not expecting you to take this well
      Am
I’m a butterfly circling the cage right now
C
Circling the cage and I, I
                 G   D  Am  C
I’m dying to get out

                   G                            D  Am  C
And I wish I could bring you with me but I can’t
