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
Repeat Verse1 until "an animal".
end on C#m
