VERSE 1
 -7  
Caged
 -8  -8   7   -7   -6    6   -6  -7   6 
You hold so tight until your knuckles show
-4 -7   
Escape
-8  -8   7  -7 -6   6    -6-7   6 
As far away as you could ever know
-4   6   -6   -7   7
You sink them all down
 6   -6   -7    7   -7 
And watch them float up
  -6   6   8   -8   -7   -6  6
Until the wheel has spun around
 6  -6   -7   7  -7   -6   6  -6 
You will be bound by what you are

PRE-CHORUS
    -7'   9'  8  8   -8
You stand in the corner
      -8   -7'  9'  8   8   -8     
With your face stripped of colour
 -8 -7'     
For what?

CHORUS
9' 9'   8   -8 -8-6 -7 -8 -7'  
If you want to be a passenger
 9'   8 8    -8  -8  -6     -7 -8  -7' 
Climb aboard with me we're leaving now
 9'   8 8    -8  -8  -6 -7-8  -7' 
Step outside and see another world
-7-8 9'  8   8   -8 -8 -6 -7' -8-8
Only if you want to be a passenger

VERSE 2
Chained
So many places you'd prefer to be
Than framed
-8 -8 7 -7   -6   6  -6-7-7  
By a picket fence and salary
You sink them all down
Then watch them float up
Until the wheel has spun around
You will be bound by who you are

PRE-CHORUS
You're tied to the corner
With your hope twisted under
In knots

CHORUS
9' 9'   8   -8 -8-6 -7 -8 -7'  
If you want to be a passenger
 9'   8 8    -8  -8  -6     -7 -8  8 
Climb aboard with me we're leaving now
 9'   8 8    -8  -8  -6 -7-8  -7' 
Step outside and see another world
-7-8 9'  8   8   -8 -8 -6 -7' -8-8
Only if you want to be a passenger
