Lyrics:
Intro
Verse1:
C#m I'll warn you,B if cornered,Ab I'll scratch my wAay out of the pen
C#m Wired,B an animAbal. The claustrophAobia begins
C#m You think I'm scared of girls, Well maybe
But I'm not afraid of you
You want to scare me then you'll cling to me no matter what I do
Verse2:
C#m Tell youB a secret Ab They shared a nAeedle once or twice
C#m I loved her,B she loved meAb We slept togAether a couple of times
C#m You think I'm proud of this, Well maybe
But the shame you never lose
Infatuated with a lunatic and cornered by the muse
Chorus1:
B And it goes dC#mown every nEiiiiiight
This must be what jail is really liiiiiike
And I will scratch my way out of this peeeeeen, again
Verse part1
Verse3:
C#m Lonely? B Maybe Ab Or maybe nAot, It all depends
C#m Your ideal,B your image Ab Your definAition of a friend
C#m If what you're shoveling is company
Then I'd rather be alone
Resentment always goes much further than it was supposed to go
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Verse1 until "an animal".
end on C#m
