~ Lions in cages ~
[Verse 1]
EbmI got a big heart, I got a big Gbmouth
I dug a big hole and now I’m trying to get Dbout
Without hurting you, Abwithout hurting you
[Verse 2]
EbmI’m squeezing your hand as you picked up the Gbpace
You were hard on the gas and I was hard on the Dbbreaks
I’m no good for you yea Abbut we don’t speak the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause if you Bdon’t try nothing ever changes
If we Ebmdon’t try no one ever saves us
If we Dbdon’t try we’re the weakest of the bravest
The numbers on the pages, we’re lions in our cages
If we Bdon’t try the clocks stand still
If we Ebmdon’t try it’s a bit uphill
If we Dbdon’t try we’re the weakest of the bravest
The numbers on the pages
We’re Gblions in our cages
[Chorus]
EbmHey, run for your Gblife
If you’re Dblow low low yea you know you gotta go
to the Abhigh high high of the beautiful life
EbmHey, you wish you had Gbdied
You’ll be the Dbweakest of the bravest
The numbers on the pages
AbAll locked up just like lions in the cages
Ebm Gb Db Ab
[Verse 3]
EbmI got my rally on race you to the towns end
GbI had my eye on you but I lost you in the last spin
DbI know you’re faster, I heard your laughter
AbYou’re only happy when it’s happy every after
[Verse 4]
EbmI saw them chasing, saw them hunting you down
You Gbsounded like a victim like a ghost in the crowd
You Dblove living dangerous, being famous
Take a Ablook at the crowd it’s not love on their faces
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause if you Bdon’t try nothing ever changes
If we Ebmdon’t try no one ever saves us
If we Dbdon’t try we’re the weakest of the bravest
The numbers on the pages, we’re lions in our cages
If we Bdon’t try the clocks stand still
If we Ebmdon’t try it’s a bit uphill
If we Dbdon’t try we’re the weakest of the bravest
The numbers on the pages
We’re Gblions in our cages
[Chorus]
EbmHey, run for your Gblife
If you’re Dblow low low yea you know you gotta go
to the Abhigh high high of the beautiful life
EbmHey you wish you had Gbdied
You’ll be the Dbweakest of the bravest
The numbers on the pages
AbAll locked up just like lions in the cagesEbm  
[Bridge]
No life grows in the Gbgarden where a young soul is Dbstarving
Where the rains’ cold and the Abwind blows and hell is home Ebmtonight
But then you’re swimming in the rivers of Gbgold and your skin gets used to the Dbcold
If your heart can’t learn to let Abgo yea you’re Gbnever gonna find love
[Double Chorus]
EbmHey, run for your Gblife
If you’re Dblow low low yea you know you gotta go
to the Abhigh high high of the beautiful life
EbmHey, you wish you had Gbdied
You’ll be the Dbweakest of the bravest

EbmHey, run for your Gblife
If you’re Dblow low low yea you know you gotta go
to the Abhigh high high of the beautiful life
EbmHey, you wish you had Gbdied
You’ll be the Dbweakest of the bravest
