[Verse 1]
G I quit the BcarnivaEml
It Cmoved C7next Gdoor
GI thought I Bhad enoughEm
EmBut I Cwant Gmore
GSo now I'm sBneaking out at Emnight
EmI paint my Cadd9face Cand C7shine Cmy Gshoes
GGo where IB'm not sEmupposed to
[Verse 2]
G'Cause I tamed a Blion once Em
I Cstole C7his rGoar
GI stripped his Bpride awayEm
EmBut he Cfound Gmore
GSo now he's Bback to take what's Emhis
EmAnd shove my Cadd9fu----Cture C7in Cmy Gface
GScare me bBack in mEmy place
So sGoon,B so soEmon
C You'veC7 got it Gbeat
B 'til itEm beats you
[Verse 3]
G I left my Bflaming swordEm
beCside C7your Gbed
GI woke to Bfind it pressedEm
Emagainst Cmy Gneck
GYou wept "sugBgestion never Emworks
EmSo now I'm Cadd9try---Cing C7sometChing Gelse"
GI shut my eyBes, ho hum, Emoh well...
[Verse 4]
G I felt a fBeather fall,Em
a Ctree C7trunk Gsplit
GInside my lBion laughed,Em
Emplayed viColGin
GHe said you Bshould give up your Emvoice
EmBefore we Cadd9both Cend C7up CdesGtroyed
GI quit alrBight, he purredEm, "Good boy."

[Verse 5]
G You wake in theB hospitalEm
in a Cthrift store Gsuit
GHear your lBover's voiceEm
Emfrom the Cwaiting Groom
GYou shut your Beyes and pray for Empeace
EmThink "I'm not Chere, this isn't Gme
GThis isn't Bsomething that I would Emdo
EmI know the Ccomplicated Gtruth
GI make a Bmask, a lion's Emroar
EmA big top Ctent, a firey Gsword
GBut they're not Breal, they never Emwere
EmAnd soon she Cwon't be real eiGther
GThis is the Blife you went and Emearned
EmBecause you Cnever fucking Glearn
GAnd you could Bwaste all of your Emyears
EmFixing the Cmess you're making Ghere
GSo as her Bnervous breath draws Emclose
EmHer dress heels Cclick off their appGroach
GYou clutch your Bchest and whisper
Em"Oh no,
