[Db] [Dbm]
[Abm] [E]
[Dbm] I warn [A] you, if [Abm] cornered, I'll scratch [E] my way out [Db] of the pen.
Why [Abm]
an animal, the [E]
claustrophobia [Db] begins.
Think [A] I'm scared of girls?
[Db] Well, maybe.
But [Dbm] I'm not afraid of you.
You wanna [A] scare me, then [Dbm] you'll cling to me no matter what I do.
Tell [A] you a secret, [Abm] I shared [E] a needle once [Dbm] or twice.
When I loved [E] her, she [Abm] loved me.
We slept [Dbm] together a couple of times.
Think I'm proud of this?
Well, maybe.
But the shame you never lose.
[A]
Infatuated with [Abm] a lunatic, cornered by [Eb] the news.
And it [E] goes down every [A] night.
[Eb] This must be [E] what jail is [A] really like.
[Eb] I will scratch [E] my way [A]
out [Db] of the pen again.
[A] [Abm]
[E] [Dbm]
[E] [Abm]
[E] [Dbm]
Lonely?
[Abm] Well, maybe.
Or [Dbm] maybe not.
It all depends.
Your idea, [Abm] your image, your definition of [Dbm] a friend.
What [A] you're shoving with is [Abm]
company, but I'd rather be [Dbm] alone.
The segment [A] always goes [Abm] much further than it was [Eb] supposed to go.
And it [E] goes down [A] every [Eb] night.
This must be [E] what jail is [A] really like.
[Eb] I will scratch [E] my way out of [A] the pen again.
[Eb] And I will [E] fall back into it [A] again.
[Db] [A]

[Ab] [A]
[E] [Dbm] I'll warn [A] you, the [Abm] cornered.
I'll scratch [E] my [Abm] way out of [Dbm] the pen.
[A] Why you're an [Abm] animal.
