[Verse]
A5                      A5            A5             A5
 You wired me awake and hit me with a hand of broken nails
A5                              A5                   A5             A5
 You tied my lead and pulled my chain and watched my blood begin to boil


[Chorus]
A5                   G [ A5 ]
 But I'm gonna break  
A5                   G [ A5 ]
 I'm gonna break my 
A5
  Gonna break my rusty cage and run
A5                   G [ A5 ]
 But I'm gonna break  
A5                   G [ A5 ]
 I'm gonna break my 
A5                     G
  Gonna break my rusty cage 
A5
... and run

 Too cold to start a fire I'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones
A5                                 A5                       A5        A5
 I'll take the river down to still water and ride a pack of dogs

  Gonna break my rusty cage ... and run

[Verse]
         E5 
When the forest burns along the road
     E5
Like God's eyes in my headlights
         E5 
When the dogs are looking for their bones
         E5 
And it's raining icepicks on your steel shores


[Chorus]
E5
 I'm gonna break  
E5
 I'm gonna break my 
E5
 Gonna break my rusty cage and run
E5
 I'm gonna break  
E5
 I'm gonna break my 
E5
 Gonna break my rusty cage and run


[Chorus] + coda
E5
 I'm gonna break  
E5
 I'm gonna break my 
E5
 Gonna break my rusty cage and run
E5
 I'm gonna break  
E5
 I'm gonna break my 
E5                    D            E5
 Gonna break my rusty cage ... and run
