Em C Bm C D
1. Up above the surface I was just a perfect child
Em C Bm C D
But underneath it all I was craving to be wild
Em C Bm C D
Don't you judge by the cover, it's so far from what you see
Em C Bm C D
I'm losing all my patience waiting on you to believe
C Bm
I'm suffocating... I can't breathe
Em
R: Let me out this cage, I'm not gonna hold back
Bm
Ima break these chains, I'm taking control now
A
Gonna give you something to talk about
C Bm
It's another side of me, I'm acting out
Em
Set me free, I'm ready to show you
Bm
This is what I need, it's time to get dirty
A
Ima show you what I'm talking about
C Bm
It's another side of me, I'm acting out
2. Welcome to a new beginning, it's time to start the show
No I don't think it matters if it's real or just a role
Once you get a taste of it you'll be begging me for more
I'll give you something to remember once I hit the floor
I'm letting go... of what you know
R: Let me out this cage...
Em G Am

There's nothing left of what you've seen before

Just to do what you're told
D
Just to do what you're told (Do what you're told)
A
Just to do what you're told
C
Do what, do what you're told
R: Let me out this cage...

Life's too short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out)

Life's too short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out)
A
Life's too short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out)
