G         D  Em  C
Screaming in isolation
G       D       Em   C
Walking through desolation alley
G       D  Em     C
Boarded up our ambitions
G        D  Em      C
Flooded out all the engines
           G
I’ve been punching through the walls
           Am
I’ve been living on the edge
           G/B
I’ve been fighting with my demons
          C
So long they’ve become my friends
      G
The zombies at the window
         Am
say it’s finally the end
        G/B
So I’m kicking down my door
            C
and never closing it again

Chorus:
D
Hey!
                     Em          C        D
I’m coming out of my heartless, hopeless rage
                      Em        C     D
I’m coming out of my cell, my broken cage
Em             C           G D Em C
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
                  G  D Em C
Get me out of my cage!

Drive you straight out the city
You can live in a ghost town with me
We can dig in the gold mine
Look for treasure we won't find
I can dream all that I want, but
I'm not going any place
I can tell you all my feelings when
I'm staring into space
And the road is an illusion
I just keep to pass the days
I'm counting down the seconds
'til I'm making my escape

Chorus:
Hey! I'm coming out of my heartless, hopeless rage
I'm coming out of my cell, my broken cage
I said, woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh, yeah

Hey! I'm coming out of my heartless, hopeless rage
I'm coming out of my cell, my broken cage
I said, woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh, yeah

I said, woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
I said, woah-oh-oh-oh (Woah-oh-oh-oh),
coming out of my cage
Coming out tonight, yeah
