Lion Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
[Am]I am a lion, and I want [G]to be free
[F]Do you see a lion when you [Em]look inside of me?
[Am]Outside the window
just to [G]watch you as you sleep
[F]'Cause I am a lion
born from [Em]things you cannot be
[Am]How can I sleep at night?
There's a [G]war inside my head
[F]I found a lion
hidden [Am]right beneath my [Em]bed
[Am]I will not hide myself
from the [G]tears that you have shed
[F]'Cause I am a lion, and you[Am] are dead[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Here's a story of everything we'll ever be
[G]You can hide,
but some of us can never leave
[F]And if you go, I don't need those little things
[C]They remind me of all[Em] our little dreams
[Am]Can you hear the words? All I can say
[G]We can watch the world
even if they walk away
For[F]get about tomorrow, tomorrow is today
[C]You were born a lion, and a [Am]lion you will stay

[Chorus 2]
[Am]I am a lion, and I want [G]to be free
[F]Do you see a lion
when you [C]look inside of [Em]me?
[Am]Outside the window
just to [G]watch you as you sleep
[F]'Cause I am a lion
born from [C]things you cannot be

[Verse 2]
Re[Am]member an army of all those little kids
[G]Living life like they only get a little bit
[F]It's hard to fight
when you're born in the middle, and
[Am]I'd rather die, won't watc[E]h you giving in
[Am]I'm sorry, daughter,
but your father's not the same
I can [G]look into your eyes,
and I'll swear that I will change
But to[F]morrow is tomorrow,
so forgive me if I stay
You can [Em]hide beneath the covers
while I [Am]hide behind the pain

[Verse 3]
[Am]After all, only so much we can say
[G]Words can lose their meaning
once we walk away
[F]Promise that you love me, watch me as I fade
I'll [C]give you all those things
that these [Em]liars never gave
Put the [Am]hands on the clock
and the things we cannot change
Is [G]tearin' out the pieces
and take back what I made
If there's [F]one thing I'd keep,
it's you that I would save
'Cause [C]I am just a lion, and a l[Em]ion I will stay

[Chorus 3]
[Am]I am a lion, and I want [G]to be free
[F]Do you see a lion
when you [Am]look inside of [Em]me?
[Am]Outside the window
just to [G]watch you as you sleep
[F]'Cause I am a lion
born from [Am]things you cannot [Em]be

[Bridge 1]
[Am]Hey, I never meant to let go
[G]All I want and you're all I ever wanna know
[F]Can't hide in the attic of a pretty home
[Am]Of a pretty home[Em], of a pretty home
[Am]Hey, I never meant to let go
[G]All I want and you're all I ever wanna know
[F]Can't hide in the attic of a pretty home
[Am]Of a pretty home[Em], of a pretty home

[Chorus 4]
[Am]I am a lion, and I want [G]to be free
[F]Do you see a lion
when you [C]look inside of [Em]me?
[Am]Outside the window
just to [G]watch you as you sleep
[F]'Cause I am a lion
born from [C]things you cannot be
