[Intro]
G  F#7  Am  G

[Verse 1]
E                          Am
You know I couldn't hurt a fly,
my friend.
D                           G
I'm not the type to step on ants.
B
I've nearly cried for moths that
 Em
die at porchlight lamps.
C              D
More for the plights
              G
of mice than men.
E         E7
See, I myself have been
        Am
stepped on so many times
D                              G
It's started to feel like my place.
B
I've failed to fit in into
       Em
those nests that scrape the sky
A7                            D7
Is there room for me in your cage?

[Chorus 1]
Gm
Animals are people too,
      A7             Dm
but these people are animals
D
Hunt in packs and act as though
       G                 E7
that proves we can't survive alone
        Am            D
And I guess we just evolved disgust
      G              Em
for prevention of infection though
Bbdim7
Shame was an invention
           D
made for prisons,
pales, and pest control
Yeah, sure,
thumbs are great and all–
       C               D
But I just get bear necessities,
 G                   Em
hakuna matatas and c'est le vie's
Am
Que sera sera's,
what a crock. I mean
D
Big talk for a chimpanzee.
     C                 Cm
You might seem behind bars, but
              G             E7
friend, this cage is inside out.
     C             D7      G
It's awful out here, Socrates.
Bbdim7  Am  D  G

[Verse 1]
E                           Am
I've never understood what humans
do and want
               D
It's quite confusing to
                 G
me to try to connect.
B
Never learned how I should feel,
    Em
instincts somehow stunted
           C
Just seem haunted by
     D                G
my stupid urge to protect.
E          E7               Am
Until frustration makes me wish
my teeth were sharp as yours
        D
Chew through their garage
                   G
doors, these carnivores will
no more use my heart
B
They'll call me crazy
           Em
but their words
all seem made-up to me
A7
Maybe they just need
                      D
more friendship like yours.

[Chorus 2]
            Gm
So gather 'round
Pandora's Skinner's Box,
        Dm
look through the one-way mirror
    D7
If you can see in shades of
          G                E7
gray the colors are much clearer
         Am
Oh, my friend,
               D
you've got a friend in me.
       G               Em
Let's go and make more enemies.
   Bbdim7
Although my eyes face forward,
         D
climb up on my shoulder,
sure you'll see
my point of view.
I'd bring you with me
      C             D
to my office in my pocket, but
     G                  Em
the world would put us down.
 C              D        G  B7
Lock me up and toss the key
     C                 Cm
You might seem behind bars, but
              G             E7
friend, this cage is inside out
C                 D7
It's dangerous out here,
      Em  Emmaj7  Em7  Em6
Socrates.
C                  D7       G
It's lonely out here, Socrates.
Bbdim7  Am  D7
