Circling The Cage

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


[Chorus]
                   G               
And I wish I could bring you with 
             D
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                
The truth is I am better off all by
       D
 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                             
 Four in the morning, without a 
     D
warning
Continues after the ad
           Am                    
It hits me like a wave and I come 
           Em
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               
And I wish I could bring you with 
             D
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                
The truth is I am better off all by
       D
 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               
And I wish I could bring you with 
             D
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                
The truth is I am better off all by
       D
 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


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