 Dm-A 
        Dm                     A 
Nothing left, now I'm feeling numb 
         Dm                   A 
And just like you, I couldn't love someone 
         Dm    A               Dm x2 
There is no one, I can belong to 


 Dm          A                           Dm                   A 
Take you out, never bring you back again, back again, back again 
 Dm          A                         Dm                   A 
Can't recall how we lost our innocence, innocence, (innocence) 


 C 
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage 
 G 
Got no heart to break, like it that way

Nothing in the cage of my ribcage 
 G 
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way

      Dm          A 
On the path never leading home

Cut it out from my flesh and bone 
      Dm       A                    Dm x2 
And I feel like, I can't see anything 


Dm          A                           Dm                   A 
Take you out, never bring you back again, back again, back again 
 Dm          A                         Dm                   A 
Can't recall how we lost our innocence, innocence, (innoc

Nothing in the cage of my ribcage

Emptiness is safe, keep it that way

NO CHORDS 
Used to be, I had light 
I had fire in my chest 
Oh, but now I'm all out 
And I've got nothing left 


 C 
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage 
 G 
Got no heart to break, like it that way 
 C 
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage 
 G 
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way 


 C 
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage

Got no heart to break, like it that way
