[Verse 1]
G B7 Em I quit the carnival C C7 G It moved next door G B7 Em I thought I had enough Em C G But I want more G B7 Em So now I'm sneaking out at night Em Cadd9 C C7 C G I paint my face and shine my shoes G B7 Em Go where I'm not supposed to
[Verse 2]
G B7 Em 'Cause I tamed a lion once C C7 G I stole his roar G B7 Em I stripped his pride away Em C G But he found more G B7 Em So now he's back to take what's his Em Cadd9 C C7 C G And shove my fu----ture in my face G B7 Em Scare me back in my place G B7 Em So soon, so soon C C7 G You've got it beat B7 Em 'til it beats you

[Verse 4]
G B7 Em I felt a feather fall, C C7 G a tree trunk split G B7 Em Inside my lion laughed, Em C G played violin G B7 Em He said you should give up your voice Em Cadd9 C C7 C G Before we both end up destroyed G B7 Em I quit alright, he purred, "Good boy."
