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
