Lions In Cages

Ebm                            Gb
I got a big heart, I got a big mouth
                                           Db
I dug a big hole and now I’m trying to get out
                    Ab
Without hurting you, without hurting you


[Verse 2]
Ebm                                          Gb
I’m squeezing your hand as you picked up the pace
                                               Db
You were hard on the gas and I was hard on the breaks
                       Ab
I’m no good for you yea but we don’t speak the truth


[Pre-Chorus]
             B
Cause if you don’t try nothing ever changes
      Ebm
If we don’t try no one ever saves us
      Db
If we don’t try we’re the weakest of the bravest

The numbers on the pages, we’re lions in our cages
      B
If we don’t try the clocks stand still
      Ebm
If we don’t try it’s a bit uphill
      Db
If we don’t try we’re the weakest of the bravest

The numbers on the pages
      Gb
We’re lions in our cages


[Chorus]
Ebm               Gb
Hey, run for your life
          Db
If you’re low low low yea you know you gotta go
       Ab
to the high high high of the beautiful life
Ebm                   Gb
Hey, you wish you had died
              Db
You’ll be the weakest of the bravest

The numbers on the pages
Ab
All locked up just like lions in the cages

Ebm Gb Db Ab

[Verse 3]
Ebm
I got my rally on race you to the towns end
Gb
I had my eye on you but I lost you in the last spin
Db
I know you’re faster, I heard your laughter
Ab
You’re only happy when it’s happy every after


[Verse 4]
Ebm
I saw them chasing, saw them hunting you down
    Gb
You sounded like a victim like a ghost in the crowd
    Db
You love living dangerous, being famous
       Ab
Take a look at the crowd it’s not love on their faces


[Pre-Chorus]
             B
Cause if you don’t try nothing ever changes
      Ebm
If we don’t try no one ever saves us
      Db
If we don’t try we’re the weakest of the bravest

The numbers on the pages, we’re lions in our cages
      B
If we don’t try the clocks stand still
      Ebm
If we don’t try it’s a bit uphill
      Db
If we don’t try we’re the weakest of the bravest

The numbers on the pages

We’re lions in our cages

[Bridge]
                     Gb                           Db
No life grows in the garden where a young soul is starving
                              Ab                          Ebm
Where the rains’ cold and the wind blows and hell is home tonight
                                          Gb                                  Db
But then you’re swimming in the rivers of gold and your skin gets used to the cold
                                 Ab            Gb
If your heart can’t learn to let go yea you’re never gonna find love


[Double Chorus]
Ebm               Gb
Hey, run for your life
          Db
If you’re low low low yea you know you gotta go
       Ab
