Key: (chord shapes in the key of Am)
Am I'm in the corner of your cage
E7 Mascara running down my face
G The door is open but I'll stay
D You think you can keep me And keep me afraid
Am Your twisting screws inside my head
E7 I won't just lie down and play dead
G Take a good look at my face
D You think you can keep me
Am Scared to fall asleep at night
Am When you're by my side
E7 I don't know why
E7 It doesn't feel right
G Hide behind your poker face
G You do it everyday
D I know you're lying
D So I fake a smile
F Ah E7 'cause in the end (the end)
Continues after the ad
I know you'll get (you get),
D everything you gave
Am I'm in the corner of your cage
E7 Mascara running down my face
G The door is open, but I stay
D You think you can keep me And keep me afraid
Am Your twisting screws inside my head
E7 I won't just lie down and play dead
G Take a good look at my face
D You think you can keep me
Am But I'm not afraid
E7 G Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum
D Am Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum,
E7 G D dum
Am Better hope and plead and pray
Am I keep your secret safe
E7 You better run
E7 'cause I got the gun
G I don't need receipts to show
G The things that we both know
D 'cause I got the scars
D To prove who you are
F Ah E7 'cause in the end (the end)
E7 I know you'll get (you get)
D Everything you give
Am I'm in the corner of your cage
E7 Mascara running down my face
G The door is open, but I'll stay
D You think you can keep me And keep me afraid
Am Your twisting screws inside my head
E7 I won't just lie down and play dead
G Take a good look at my face
D You think you can keep me
Am But I'm not afraid
E7 G D Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum, dum
