Em F#m G A Bm A G F#m x2

Verse 1:
Em   F#m    G      A               Bm A G F#m
     When exposure means addiction
Em   F#m       G     A          Bm A G F#m
     When your soul is for sale
C          G                 A         A7
Freedom is exploring your restrictions
Em   F#m      G        A            E
         Like living inside a whale

Verse 2:
Em   F#m           G         A             Bm A G F#m
     When you’re a slave to your emotions
Em   F#m           G         A             Bm A G F#m
     When you’re consumed by fear and rage
C               G                 A       A7
Freedom is just going through the motions
Em   F#m      G         A           E
         Like singing inside a cage

Chorus 1:
G              F#m       Bm               A
 I’m trying to get away, learning not to choose
G              Bm                A
           The shame you put me through
G          F#m                     Bm             C      G
 How can I take the blame when you know I can’t
refuse?
 A                     E
And I can’t help loving you

Instrumental:
Em F#m G A Bm A G F#m x2

Verse 3:
Em    F#m       G      A          Bm A G F#m
      Sometimes pride is a virtue
Em    F#m          G       A         Bm A G F#m
      Sometimes forgiveness is a sin
C           G          A        A7
Sometimes humility can hurt you
Em    F#m      G     A           E
           And love is giving in

Chorus 2:
G            F#m              Bm                 A
 Just when I think that I can crawl out of the fire
G            Bm                  A
        My convictions start to fail
G             F#m          Bm              C    G
 Dragged back by my heart, swallowed by desire
 A                    E
Like living inside a whale
