Heart In A Cage Acoustic chords by Punch Brothers

[Intro]

A F#m E


[Verse 1: ]

C#m                                A        E
Well I don't feel better when I'm fucking around
C#m                                A            E
And I don't write better when I'm stuck in the ground, so don't
C#m                           A            E
Teach me a lesson cause I've already learned
C#m                                  A             E
Yeah the sun will be shining and my children will burn
       C#m    A            E
Oh the heart beats in its cage

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2:]

C#m                                A              E
I don't want what you want I don't feel what you feel
       C#m                        A         E
See I'm stuck in this city but I belong in a field
           C#m                      A           E
Whoa we gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left,
         C#m                              A       E
Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone

        C#m    A           E~
Oh the heart beats in its cage?


[Bridge:]

E                                    A  B A [A/G#/F#]
All our friends, they're laughing at us
E                A           B     A [A/G#/F#]
All the ones you love you mistrust
E            A            B    A [A/G#/F#]
Help me I am not quite myself
E                   A           B       Cm [rapid burst]
Look around there's no one else left


[Verse 3:]

C#m                         A                  E
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
       C#m                      A                 E
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around
             C#m                     A       E
Oh I get left, left, left, left, left, left, left
        C#m
And I'm sorry you were thinking that I
        A          E
would steal your fire

      C#m    A              E
Oh the heart beats in its cage
          C#m    A              E
OH-oh the heart be-eats in its cage

[Instrumental]
