Chorus:
Bm
I'm in the corner of your cage
Gb7
Mascara running down my face
A
The door is open, but I'll stay
E
You think you can keep me, keep me afraid
Bm
You're twisting screws inside my head
Gb7
I won't just lie down and play dead
A E
Take a good look at my face, you think you can keep me?
Verse 1:
Bm
Scared to fall asleep at night when you're by my side
Gb7
I don't know why, it doesn't feel right
A
Hide behind your poker face, you do it every day
E
I know you lie, so I fake a smile, ah
Pre-Chorus:
G Gb7
'Cause in the end, I know you'll get -The end, you'll get-
E
Everything you gave
Chorus:
Bm
I'm in the corner of your cage
Gb7
Mascara running down my face
A
The door is open, but I'll stay
E
You think you can keep me, keep me afraid
Bm
You're twisting screws inside my head
Gb7
I won't just lie down and play dead
A E
Take a good look at my face, you think you can keep me?
Bm
But I'm not afraid
Gb7
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum
A E
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum, dum
Verse 2:
Bm
Better hope and plead and pray I keep your secret safe
Gb7
You better run 'cause I got the gun
A
I don't need receipts to show the things that we both know
E
'Cause I got the scars to prove who you are, ah
Pre-Chorus:
G Gb7
'Cause in the end, I know you'll get -The end, you'll get-
E
Everything you gave
Chorus:
Bm
I'm in the corner of your cage
Gb7
Mascara running down my face
A
The door is open, but I'll stay
E
You think you can keep me, keep me afraid
Bm
You're twisting screws inside my head
Gb7
I won't just lie down and play dead
A E
Take a good look at my face, you think you can keep me?
Bm
But I'm not afraid
Gb7
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum

I can only think of a strumming pattern for the chorus and postchorus and im not so sure if it works but chorus: DDDD-UU-D-UU-D then postchorus is just a bunch of down strums
JDFKLDJSF weyt that strumming pattern doesn’t work that well- imma think of something else
I’m kinda doing a wed DD-DDUD but it’s a funky rhythm
Dose anyone have a recommended strumming pattern for this song? that’s the only part I’m stuck on lol
If you want the chords for the slower version, it’s -2
