Bm 
I saw your soul without the skin attached 
G                                       D     A 
You've got the guts of a coyote pack, mmhmm, mhm

But we do what needs the doing

I keep 'em in a cage but they come out when they see a friend 
            A

You're never really going to have control of it all 
       Em 
So you best get cool with where your chips are gonna fall

We are the sun, and mother's milk

And cusswords, and poetry

And we grew up believing good wins over bad 
       Em                                           D 
So you gave away your heart but the wolves attacked

But then a bigger heart grew back

Please excuse the words coming out of my mouth

I need to get out
