    Heart In A Cage Acoustic

    The Strokes

This is a great song by a great band.  I just was messing around with some chords 
and thought it was a good sounding acoustic version. Let me know what you think. Enjoy

Intro: Em - G - Em - G - Em - G - Em - G - C

Em    
Well I don't feel better
     C            G
When I'm fucking around
 Em
And I don't write better
     C                 G
When I'm stuck in the ground
 Em
So don't teach me a lesson
      C             G
Cause I've already learned
 Em
Yeah the sun will be shining
    C                G
And my children will burn
       Em     C           G
Oh the heart beats in its cage

Em - G - Em - G - Em - G - Em - G - C

Em
I don't want what you want
   C                  G
I don't feel what you feel
  Em         
See I'm stuck in a city
    C              G
But I belong in a field
            Em                      C           G
Yeah we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left
 Em                               C             G
Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone
       Em     C           G
Oh the heart beats in its cage

Em                        A          D     D7                 
All our friends, they're laughing at us
Em                A             D      D7
All of those you loved you mistrust
Em               A            D      D7
Help me I'm just not quite myself
Em                   A           D    D7
Look around there's no one else left
  Em                      C                    G
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
  Em                        C                    G
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around
           Em                      C            G
Oh he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left
Em                                    C          G
I'm sorry you were thinking; I would steal your fire.
       Em     C            G
Oh the heart beats in its cage
        Em     C           G
Yes the heart beats in its cage
Alright
        Em     C            G
And the heart beats in its cage

Enjoy Im also going to try and come up with the solo and ender.
Thanks.
