[Intro] C Am C Am C F Am C G [Verse 1]
C
 I'm a broke-nose fighter

                   Am
I'm a loose-lipped liar

 Em                C
Searching for the edge of darkness

                      Am
But all I get is just tired
[Chorus]
       F
I went looking for attention

                  Am
In all the wrong places

        C         G
I was needing a redemption

                       C      Am
And all I got was just cages
[Verse 2]
F       C
 If I'm being real honest

                    Am
I'm fighting uphill battles

        C
I can't seem to find the right light

                               Am
'Cause I've been living in the shadows
[Chorus]
       C            F
I went looking for attention

                 Am
In all the wrong places

                G
I was seeking recognition

                       C
But all I got was just cages
[Interlude]
 Am  Dm C G
Ooh, ooh

C Am F C G
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
        C
Looking back on all the wreckage

                   Am
All I see is their faces

                C
How many hearts have I broken?

                            Am
And tell me, are they still breaking?
[Chorus]
               C    F
I went looking for attention

                 Am
In all the wrong places

              C   G
I was needing a redemption

C
 Get me out of these cages
[Bridge]
  Am
Ooh, I had a bright white dream

Dm C G
Ooh,  It was pulling on me

C Am
Ooh, 'till I was almost dead

Dm C               G
Ooh, here in these cages
[Instrumental] C Am [Verse 4]
F         C             G        Am
There's a window in this cage I'm in

F     G                              C
I can see what kind of man that I've been

F        C            G        C
I'm in a prison for a man gone wrong

F                G                      Am
But I've found a future, this is not my home
Dm C G [Verse 5]
                C
We're a band of outsiders

                     Am
Spend our whole life chasin'

                         C
Trying to climb a little higher

                  Am
But the high just faded
[Chorus]
                 F
Went looking for attention

                 Am
In all the wrong places

                    G
We were needin' a redemption

                    C
All we got was just cages
