    Lyrics:
  •  
    Intro
     
  • Verse1:
    C#m B Ab A
    I'll warn you, if cornered, I'll scratch my way out of the pen
  • C#m B Ab A
    Wired, an animal. The claustrophobia 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 B Ab A
    Tell you a secret They shared a needle once or twice
  • C#m B Ab A
    I loved her, she loved me We slept together 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 C#m E
    And it goes down every niiiiiight
  • This must be what jail is really liiiiiike
    And I will scratch my way out of this peeeeeen, again
     
  • Verse part1
     
    Verse3:
  • C#m B Ab A
    Lonely? Maybe Or maybe not, It all depends
    C#m B Ab A
  • Your ideal, your image Your definition 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
  • PLAY TOO ..
