[Verse 1]
Bb Dm C               F
I woke up in the night,
Am Bb
I found an empty cage
Bb Dm C                   F Am
How you got out I don't know,
 Bb
I guess you clawed your way
Bb Dm C                       F
You waited there in the shadows,
Am Bb
you made me feel afraid
Bb Dm C                 F
I would've run before but
Am Bb
no-no-no-no-not today

Come on and cut me then, if you

You've got so much power and it
makеs you feel tough
