Tom: Am
C F G C
[Verse 1]
C F
I been lookin' for a feelin' I can't find
G C
There's no barren wasteland like the back of my mind
F
Maybe it's just that I never really made the time
G C
Maybe it's selfish of me to feel like I'm always bein' robbed of mine
E Am F G
Oh-o-o-oh, oh-o-o-oh
[Chorus 1]
C
Tell me the one about the lion in the cage
Am
I'll sing you something from the good old days
F
The hairpin turn, the clean white page
C G C F G C
It's my solemn review, ooh-oo-ooh
[Verse 2]
C F
I hate myself a little more each day
G C
I hate my fingers for the way they play
F
I hate I can't think of the words I wanna say
G C
And I hate just as I think of them, you're already walking away
E Am F G
Hey-ey, hey-ey
[Chorus 2]
C
Tell me the one about the lion in the cage
Am
I'll sing you something from the good old days
F
The hairpin turn, the clean white page
C G
It's my solemn review
C
I don't even know what I'm trying to say
Am
I wish that you could see her, I wish you coulda stayed
F
Now you've been reborn, I'm still a mouse in a maze
C G
And I sing it out to you
Am G/B C Am G
Hmm-mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm-hmm
C G F C
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
[Bridge]
Am G C
Let a little time go by
F C G
Let old dogs lie
C E Am
Try, try
F D G
Try
[Chorus]
C
Tell me the one about the lion in the cage
Am
I'll sing you something from the good old days
F
The hairpin turn, the clean white page
C G
It's my solemn review
C
I don't even know what I'm trying to say
Am
I wish that you could see her, I wish you coulda stayed
F
Now you've been reborn, I'm still a mouse in a maze
C G C F G C
And I sing it out to you
