From A Cage Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]If [G]I[F][Am][G][F]
[Am]washed my
[G]clothes [F]and I combed my hair
[Am]would you look [C]at me [F]the same?
All this [Am]time I be[G]lieved
[F]I had lost control,
[Am]but this doesn't [C]have [G]a n[F]ame.

[Verse 2]
If I [Am]swim down the [G]middle
[F]and I worked real hard
[Am]could I learn [C]to shut you [F]out?
People [Am]told us we were [G]crazy and
[F]maybe they were right,
[Am]but that's not [F]what this [G]is [F]about.

[Verse 3]
Because I've [Dm]never lived [G]without it
never [Dm]needed it so [G]bad.
That they'd [Dm]sell out their [G]whole fam
ily for [F]a taste.

[Verse 4]
Because she [Dm]treated you so [G]fancy
before she [Dm]treated you so [G]mean.
But she [Dm]made a good com
[G]panion either [F]way.

[Interlude 1]
Either way.
[Am][C][F][Am][G][C][F]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Sitting in [C]the snow [G]while we[F]
traced our [C]tracks,
[Am]but we can't go [Em]back [F]again.
I'm [Am]not your m[G]other
[F]and you're not a child.
Hon[Am]ey, we weren't
[C]even friend[F]s.

[Verse 6]
You were [Am]born into [C]an ocean; I grew
[F]up in a swimming [C]pool
[F]undernea[Am]th the[C] band- aid colored pai[F]n.
I had [Am]barely learned [C]to hold you; I had
[F]barely spoke [C]your name
[Am]when I began [C]to love you [G]without [F]shame.

[Verse 7]
But I'll [Dm]learn to live [G]without it,
never [Dm]loved it any[G]way.
And I'll [Dm]ride my plastic [G]pony
to [F]the sun.
But they're [Dm]closing down [G]the party,
and they're [Dm]bringing heavy [G]chains,
but we'll [Dm]learn to love [G]our freedom from
[F]a[Am][C][F]
[Am]cage.[C][G][F][C]
[F]From a cage.
