I don't have a girl to bail me out tonight

I don't have the means to help myself

But I used to be a lion
AmG
I used to be a lion
G
I don't have the pride to hold my head up high
CG
And I don't have the strength to make the kill
CC/EG
These days I don't run free, I'm just passin' by
Am7D
Wakin' up at all's my only thrill

I lost the ones that love me, now everyone's above me...

But I used to be a lion

I used to be a lion
