Intro:

Am Dm C G 2x



Verse 1:
          Am
I've been shaking the cage
       Am                 G
Not an insect to the flame
     Am                               G
No I won't let a light stand in my way
     Am
When there's blood on my hands
                     G
I hope you understand
       Am                                G
That I won't be afraid to do it all again

Pre-chorus:
Dm                          F
You're telling me hope is a demon
Dm
Watch out, watch out
                F            E
Cause I won't believe it, nooo

Chorus:
Am                   Dm
You can lock me in a jailhouse
               F                     G
Throw away the key and leave me bleeding
Am                      Dm
You can throw me to the fire
                        F
You can drown me in the river
                        G
You won't stop me breathing
Am            Dm           F           G
I'll serve my time, let me live my life
Am                   Dm
You can lock me in a jailhouse
               F
Throw away the key
                          G
But you won't stop me leaving

Solo:
Am Dm F G

Verse 2:
          Am        Dm
I've been chasing a dream
       F               G
For so long now it seems
      Am           Dm           F           G
And I won't let it go 'till it's mine to keep
          Am         Dm
There's a hole in my head
      F                 G
And I just won't let it rest
  Am              Dm   F                   G
I swear that I'll fight for all that's mine

Pre-chorus:
Dm                          F
You're telling me hope is a demon
Dm

Cause I won't believe it, nooo

But you won't stop me leaving
