Dm                 C
I am a lion and I want to be free
Bb                          C
Do you see a lion when you look inside of me?
Dm                          C
Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep
Bb                             C
'Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be
Dm                                   C
How can I sleep at night? There's a war inside my head
Bb                     C
I found a lion hidden right beneath my bed
Dm                               C
I will not hide myself from the tears that you have shed
Bb                     Am
'Cause I am a lion and you are dead

Verse 1: Johnny 3 Tears:
Dm
Here's a story of everything we'll ever be
C
You can hide but some of us can never leave
Bb
And if you go I don't need those little things
Am                     Bb       C
They remind me of all our little dreams
Dm
Can you hear the words all I can say?
C
We can watch the world even if they walk away
Bb
Forget about tomorrow, tomorrow is today
Am                     Bb       C
You were born a lion and a lion you will stay


Chorus: Danny:
Dm                 C
I am a lion and I want to be free!
Bb                          C
Do you see a lion when you look inside of me?
Dm                 C
Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep!
Bb                          C
'Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be!


Verse 2: Johnny 3 Tears:
Dm
Remember an army of all those little kids?
C
Living life like they only get a little bit
Bb
It's hard to fight when you're born in the middle
Am
And I'd rather die, won't watch you giving in
Dm
I'm sorry, daughter, but your father's not the same
C
I can look into your eyes and I'll swear that I will change
Bb
But tomorrow is tomorrow so forgive me if I stay
Am
You can hide beneath the covers while I hide behind the pain
Dm
After all, only so much we can say
C
Words can lose their meaning once we walk away
Bb
Promise me that you'll love me, watch me as I fade
Am
I'll give you all the things that these liars never gave
Dm
The hands on the clock and the things we cannot change
C
Tear it all to pieces and take back what I made
Bb
If there's one thing I'd keep, it's you that I would save
Am
'Cause I am just a lion and a lion I will stay


Chorus: Danny:
Dm                 C

Bb                          C
Do you see a lion when you look inside of me?
Dm                 C
Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep
Bb                          C
'Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be


Bridge: Johnny 3 Tears:
Dm
Hey! I never meant to let go!
C
All I want and you're all I ever wanna know!
Bb
Can't hide in the attic of a pretty home!
C
Of a pretty home!

Of a pretty home, hey!
Dm
I never meant to let go!
C
All I want and you're all I ever wanna know!

Can't hide in the attic of a pretty home!

Of a pretty home!
