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

friend, this cage is inside out.
C D7 G
It's awful out here, Socrates.

[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

It's dangerous out here,

Socrates.
