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 E
Take a good look at my face, you think you can keep me?
Verse 1:
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
Pre-Chorus:
G F#7
'Cause in the end, I know you'll get (The end, you'll get)
E
Everything you gave

I'm in the corner of your cage

Better hope and plead and pray I keep your secret safe

'Cause I got the scars to prove who you are, ah
