Chorus:
            Bm
I'm in the corner of your cage
         F#7
Mascara running down my face
            A
The door is open, but I'll stay
                   E
You think you can keep me, keep me afraid
                  Bm
You're twisting screws inside my head
              F#7
I won't just lie down and play dead
             A
Take a good look at my face,
                   E
you think you can keep me?

  Bm
Scared to fall asleep at
night when you're by my side
               F#7
I don't know why, it doesn't feel right
 A
Hide behind your poker face, you do it every day
            E
I know you lie, so I fake a smile, ah

G                F#7
'Cause in the end,
I know you'll get (The end, you'll get)
E
Everything you gave

Chorus:
I'm in the corner of your cage
Mascara running down my face
The door is open, but I'll stay
You think you can keep me and keep me afraid
You're twisting screws inside my head
I won't just lie down and play dead
Take a good look at my face,
you think you can keep me?

               Bm
But I'm not afraid

Better hope and plead and pray I keep your
secret safe
You better run 'cause I got the gun
I don't need receipts to show the things
that we both know
'Cause I got the scars to prove who you are, ah

'Cause in the end
(The end), I know you'll get (You'll get)
Everything you gave

Chorus
