Out Loud
Cage the Elephant
[Intro]
G C G
[Verse 1]
G C G
With angry wings, I flew out of that town
G C G
I promised you I'd never turn around
Am D
Cocaine buzz and a caffeine high
Em C
Open all the windows under midnight skies
Am D G
With angry wings, I flew out of that town
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
Chasing down a dream
Em C
Like a shadow in the breeze
Am D
From a thousand miles away
Em C
Wish you were right in front of me
[Chorus]
Am D
Man, I really messed up now
Am D
Too afraid to say it out loud
Em D
I can barely breathe, who'm I tryin' to be?
G Em
I'm still tryin' to figure it out
Am D
Man, I really messed up now
G C G
[Verse 2]
G C G
Clipped those wings and I came back home
G C G
Tried my best just to carry on
Am D
Stick-and-poke tattoos meant nothin' to me
Em C
As far as east to west and not a memory
Am G D
Mm, mm
[Chorus]
Am D
Man, I really messed up now
Am D
Too afraid to say it out loud
Em D
I can barely breathe, who'm I tryin' to be?
G Em
I'm still tryin' to figure it out
Am D
Am I too proud to say it out loud?
D G D Em D Em D C
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
Chasing down a dream
Em C
Like a shadow in the breeze
Am D
From a thousand miles away
Em C
Wish you were still in front of me
[Chorus]
Am D
I don't wanna mess up now
Am D
Too afraid to say it out loud
Em D
I can barely breathe, who'm I tryin' to be?
G Em G Em
I'm still tryin' to figure it out
Am D
Man, I really messed up now
G Am C
