[Intro]
E A C D
E A C D
 
[Verse 1]
A G
I heard the click of a tiny catch,
A G
I closed my eyes and you found the latch,
C D
I looked up and saw the bars intact,
C D
Locked up tight, the perfect trap,
A G
I rattle and shake inside,
A G
But I can't escape tonight.
 
[Interlude]
E A C D
E A C D
 
[Verse 2]
A G
There was a time when I saw it outside,
A G
Followed the air, turn left, turn right,
C D
Now with a move, you close the lock,
C D
The world outside, it's what I want,
A G
I rattle and shake inside,
A G
I push against your arms tonight.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em
And it feels like we were broken,
A G
And I'm holding the pieces so tight,
C Em
You can try to tell me I'm nothing,
A G
And I don't have the wings to fly,
C Em
But there's too much here that's unspoken,
A G
And there's no tomorrow in sight,
C Em
Could you love me if I was broken?
A G
And there's no going back tonight.
 
[Chorus]
A C D
Looking at me like a problem to solve,
G A C D
Like an untidy creature that you can't push around,
G A/C# C Dsus4 D
You built a cage, but your measurement's wrong,
G A C Dsus4
'Cause I'll find a way and I'll pick your lock.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em
And it feels like we were broken,
A G
And I'm holding the pieces so tight,
C Em
You can try to tell me I'm nothing,
A G
And I don't have the wings to fly,
C Em
But there's too much here that's unspoken,
A G
And there's no tomorrow in sight,
C Em
Could you love me if I was broken?
A G
And there's no going back tonight.
