~ Lions in cages ~
[Verse 1]
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
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 Ebm
All locked up just like lions in the 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
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
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
