Cages

	  		
Intro: C Am C Am C F Am C G 

verse 1 
C 
 I'm a broke-nose fighter 
                   Am 
I'm a loose-lipped liar 
 Em                C 
Searching for the edge of darkness 
                      A 
But all I get is just tired 

 
       F 
I went looking for attention 
                  Am 
In all the wrong places 
        C         G 
I was needing a redemption 
                       C      Am 
And all I got was just cages 


verse 2 
F       C 
 If I'm being real honest 
                    Am 
I'm fighting uphill battles 
        C 
I can't seem to find the right light 
                               Am 
'Cause I've been living in the shadows 

 
       C            F 
I went looking for attention 
                 Am 
In all the wrong places 
                G 
I was seeking recognition 
                       C 
But all I got was just cages 


Interlude 
 Am  Dm C G 
Ooh, ooh 
C Am F C G 
Ooh, ooh 

verse 3 
        C 
Looking back on all the wreckage 
                   Am 
All I see is their faces 
                C 
How many hearts have I broken? 
                            Am 
And tell me, are they still breaking? 

 
               C    F 
I went looking for attention 
                 Am 
In all the wrong places 
              C   G 
I was needing a redemption 
C 
 Get me out of these cages 


Bridge 
  Am 
Ooh, I had a bright white dream 
Dm C G 
Ooh,  It was pulling on me 
C Am 
Ooh, 'till I was almost dead 
Dm C               G 
Ooh, here in these cages 

Instrumental 
C Am 

verse 4 
F         C             G        Am 
There's a window in this cage I'm in 
F     G                              C 
I can see what kind of man that I've been 
F        C            G        C 
I'm in a prison for a man gone wrong 
F                G                      Am 
But I've found a future, this is not my home 

Dm C G 

Verse 5 
                C 
We're a band of outsiders 
                     C 
Spend our whole life chasin' 
                         C 
Trying to climb a little higher 
                  Am 
But the high just faded 

 
                 F 
Went looking for attention 
                 Am 
In all the wrong places 
                    G 
We were needin' a redemption 
                    C 
All we got was just cages
