Em C Bm (2x) 1. Up above the surface I was just a perfect child But underneath it all I was craving to be wild Don't you judge by the cover, it's so far from what you see I'm losing all my patience waiting on you to believe I'm suffocating... I can't breathe R: Let me out this cage, I'm not gonna hold back Ima break these chains, I'm taking control now Gonna give you something to talk about It's another side of me, I'm acting out Set me free, I'm ready to show you This is what I need, it's time to get dirty Ima show you what I'm talking about It's another side of me, I'm acting out 2. Welcome to a new beginning, it's time to start the show No I don't think it matters if it's real or just a role Once you get a taste of it you'll be begging me for more I'll give you something to remember once I hit the floor I'm letting go... of what you know R: Let me out this cage... *: I've been waiting just to drive you crazy Now it's my time and yes, it feels amazing There's nothing left of what you've seen before Life's too short just to do what you're told Just to do what you're told Just to do what you're told (Do what you're told) Just to do what you're told Do what, do what you're told R: Let me out this cage... Life's too short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out) Life's too short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out) Life's too short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out) Yeah, yeah, I'm acting out
