Stuck in a cage

Get me a key
Pick me a lock
Gotta be free, ready or not

Gotta run, gotta run

Gotta run, gotta run

Gotta run, gotta run

Pre-Chorus:
E                      A
Nowhere to hide cause someone's gotta find you
Trying to breathe when everybody right behind you
Scattering leaves to try and cover up the footprints
Water ahead because I can hear it in the distance

Chorus:
A                     Bm  Em
I'm running for the river
A                      D
Cause the river's been high and there ain't no goin' back
They'll never catch me
A                      Bm  Em
I'm running for the river
        A                           Em                  A
You can ride, you can fly, you can tell them that you drive
But there ain't no going back
They'll never catch me
A
Tell em that you tried, but you're never gonna catch me

Verse 2:
B
Let out the hounds
Stand up the guards
Stand up and bow
F                              Em
Better be the boss like the Kennedy's
A fast one
             A
Out of the trees
Into the swamp
             A
Gotta be freaks
They'll never stop
              Em  Bm
Gotta run, gotta run
Gotta run, gotta run
God damnit, it's a fast one

Pre-Chorus:
Em                      A
Nowhere to hide cause someone's gotta find you
Trying to breathe when everybody right behind you
Scattering leaves to try and cover up the footprints
Water ahead because I can hear it in the distance

Chorus:
A                     Bm  Em
I'm running for the river
A                      D
Cause the river's been high and there ain't no goin' back
They'll never catch me
A                      Bm  Em
I'm running for the river
        A                           Em                  A
You can ride, you can fly, you can tell them that you drive
But there ain't no going back
They'll never catch me
A
Tell em that you tried, but you're never gonna catch me
