A                  E
Lions all around me
  B
Truth can be lies and the devil
                 A
Don't want you free
             E
Can anybody be
          B
My minds wanders around
Though i'm caged oh let me out

A
Unmarked are the tombstones
         E
But the family still cares
B
There were so many words
I should have never kept

Chorus:
    A                       E
And oh you got stuck in a spider's web
                   B
But I'll cut you free
And I'll cut you free
    A
And oh as we stare at your wounds
       E
We're howling
We're howling
                    B
We're howling for you
We're howling for you

I saw what you saw
But there was something else
You know your love
Has bound your feet
And you're casting shadows
To deceive me
I never knew how it could be
I took a lot
I took once more
I want to do something
To show you to me
Because you know that no one
Really knows me

Chorus:
And oh you got stuck in a spider's web
But I'll cut you free
And I'll cut you free
And oh as I stare at your wounds
We're howling
We're howling
We're howling for you
We're howling for you

A
Unmarked are the tombstones
         E
But the family still cares
B
There were so many words
I should have never kept

A E            B
I'll cut you free

I'll cut you free

A E            B
I'll cut you free

I'll cut you free

Chorus:
    A                       E
And oh you got stuck in a spider's web
                   B
But I'll cut you free
And I'll cut you free
    A
And oh as I stare at your wounds
          E
We're howling
We're howling
                    B
We're howling for you

We're howling for you

A
Unmarked are the tombstones
         E
But the family still cares
B
There were so many words
I should have never kept
