[Primeira Parte]

A7(4)               F                Am             Am
     She knows that I've been doing something wrong
         D2       Bb
But she won't say anything
A7(4)                F               A7(4)/D      Am
     She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday
         D2            Bb
But she won't mind me lying
Mmm, because

Am                F            A7(4)/D               Am
   It breaks the cage and fear escapes and takes possession
      D2           Bb        A7(4)
Just like a crowd rioting inside
                              F
Make me do this, make me do that
                  A7(4)/D        Am
Make me do this, make me do that
   D7(2)           Bb
Am I the cat that takes the bird?
C                 Bb/F            Am
   To her the hunted, not the hunter
