   Em             C     Bm      C               D 
1.  Up above the surface I was just a perfect child
   Em                  C  Bm      C            D
    But underneath it all I was craving to be wild
   Em                       C     Bm       C                 D
    Don't you judge by the cover, it's so far from what you see 
   Em                   C       Bm     C           D
    I'm losing all my patience waiting on you to believe
       C              Bm
   I'm suffocating... I can't breathe

          Em
R: Let me out this cage, I'm not gonna hold back
        Bm
   Ima break these chains, I'm taking control now
          A
   Gonna give you something to talk about
           C            Bm
   It's another side of me, I'm acting out
   Em
   Set me free, I'm ready to show you
            Bm
   This is what I need, it's time to get dirty
        A
   Ima show you what I'm talking about
           C            Bm
   It's another side of me, I'm acting out

2. Welcome to a new beginning, it's time to start the show
   No I don't think it matters if it's real or just a role
   Once you get a taste of it you'll be begging me for more 
   I'll give you something to remember once I hit the floor
   I'm letting go... of what you know

R: Let me out this cage...

   Em         G                Am 
*:  I've been waiting just to drive you crazy
   Em           G                 Am      D
    Now it's my time and yes, it feels amazing
   Em               G                    Am 
    There's nothing left of what you've seen before
   Em           G            Am               D
    Life's too short just to do what you're told
   Em
    Just to do what you're told
   D
    Just to do what you're told (Do what you're told)
   A
    Just to do what you're told
   C
   Do what, do what you're told

R: Let me out this cage...

   Em
    Life's too short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out)
   D
    Life's too short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out)
   A
    Life's too short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out)
   C      Bm                 Em
    Yeah, yeah, I'm acting out
