A5 
You wired me awake  
And hit me with a hand of broken nails  
You tied my lead and pulled my chain  
To watch my blood begin to boil  
 
              A5    G  A5  
But I'm gonna break  
                   G   A5  
I'm gonna break my  
 
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run  
 
But I'm gonna break...  
                         D        A5  
...I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run  
 
 
Too cold to start a fire  
I'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones  
I'll take the river down to still water  
And ride a pack of dogs  
 
But I'm gonna break...  
But I'm gonna break...

Hits like a Phillips head into my brain It's gonna be too dark to sleep again Cutting my teeth on bars and rusty chains I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run When the forest burns along the road Like God's eyes in my headlights When the dogs are looking for their bones And it's raining icepicks on your steel shore I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my D E I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
