You know what I mean?
And then I had to think that, hey, [Em] we know a song [D]
called Heart In The Cage.
[C#]
It must be a perfect time to play that song.
This is what I was thinking about.
This Grigoro [F#]
smackdown.
Would you have
Would you
[B] Stop.
[F#m] Even if the actual output was
I'm just
I'm just there.
[F#]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's kind of [D] like
Kind of [C#] like a little crystal ball in the middle of the room.
[E]
[G]
[C#] You know what we are on radio today, folks?
The worst thing I've ever heard in my life.
It was called Jonas Brothers.
[D] [C#]
[C]
I've heard some [C#] bad things.
[A#] Just solely the [F#] name of brothers bands like that.
[C#]
And that's why I kept thinking, as Grigoro laid down the thunderous new acoustic hammer on the piano,
[F#] [A#] that the heart beats in the cage.
[Em]
[Gm] [B]
Oh, the heart [C]
[N] beats in its [F#]
[G] cage.
Yeah.
[D#] [G] But
[C] [G]
[Bm] [C]
[Am] [G]
[D]
[Em] I don't feel [D] better when [C] I'm [G] fucking around.
And [Em] I don't cry to defend her [C] when I'm stuck [G] in a ground.
So [Em] don't teach me a lesson,
[C] because I've [G] already learned.
[Bm] Yes, I will be shining [C]
like a [G] children's world.
[Em] The heart [C]
beats [G] in its cage.
[C] [Am]
[G]
[D] [Em]
[E]
What [Em]
you want and I [C] don't.
I think to [G] feel you to see [Em] I'm stuck in this city.
But [C] I belong [D] in the feeling.
Oh, he [Em] needs a left, left, left, left, [C] left, [G] left out.
And [Em] now he's screaming,
Oh, and [C]
you're eating [G] alone.
Oh, [Em] the heart [C]
[G] beats in its cage.
Yeah.

[G] On the front, [C] you're laughing at [D]
us.
Slow.
All the ones you [C] love, you [D] mistrust.
[G] Well, [C] I'm not quite [E] myself.
[G] Look around, [C] there's no one else [D]
left.
[Cm] [D#] I [Em]
went to the concert again.
[C] My [G] feet cried, I guess [Em] I got too excited.
When [C] I thought [G] you were a [D] [Em] walking lamp.
Left, left, left, [C] left, [G] left out.
[Em] And I'm sorry you're thinking [D] that I'm [C]
still.
[G] You're far [Em] from the heart.
[C]
[G] Beats in its cage.
What you [Em] want.
[C]
Beats in [G] its cage.
[D] [C] Oh.
[Em] [Am] [G]
