Capo 2
Intro: [Em] [Bm] [C] [C6] [C] [C6]
Verse 1:
[Em]He used to run, he used to [Bm]wander through the jungle
He would scoff [C]at other [C6]creatures, had no [C]reason to be [Cmaj7]humble
[Em]Was number one until the day [Bm]he tripped and stumbled
Fell about[C] a hundred[C6] meters down, his [C]femer, well, it [C9]crumbled
And now[Em], he barely gets around [Bm]
He's tethered to the ground [C], unrecognizable [C6]
He [C]hardly makes a sound [C9], he used to roar [Am]
But that's who he was before [Bm]
Chorus:
[Em]Cheetah with a broken leg, [Bm] tryin' to find himself again
[C]Missin' who he was back then[C6], he [C]isn't who he was back [Cmaj7]then
[Em]Cheetah with a broken heart, [Bm]creature with a dying spark
[C]Starting over at the start [C6], [C]starting is the hardest [C9]part
[Em]Part, [Bm]part
[C] [C6] [C] [Cmaj7]
Verse 2:
[Em]And as he laid there in the cool [Bm] shade of the forest
He [C]soon began to [C6]realize that there are things [C]far more [Cmaj7]important
[Em]Then running faster, cunning has [Bm]its perks and promise
But there's more [C]to life than [C6]tempo, if we're [C]really bein' [C9]honest
And now [Em], he finds his way around [Bm]
Not tethered to the ground [C], unrecognizable [C6]
He [C]even makes that sound [C9], he likes to roar [Am]
Just like he did before [Bm]
Chorus:
[Em]Cheetah with a broken leg, [Bm] tryin' to find himself again
[C]Missin' who he was back then[C6], he [C]isn't who he was back [Cmaj7]then
[Em]Cheetah with a broken heart, [Bm]creature with a dying spark
[C]Starting over at the start [C6], [C]starting is the hardest [C9]part
[Em]Part, [Bm]part
[C] [C6] [C] [Cmaj7]
Bridge:
[Em]I look at him, can't help but see [Bm]myself reflected
Used to feel [C] I was invincible [C6] until [C]fate interjected [Cmaj7]
[Em]Sixty to zero, well, it [Bm]only took at second
Went from [C] standing at the [C6]pinnacle to [C]falling off the edges [C9]
Oh, how [Am], I feel just like him now [Bm]
Chorus:
[Em]Cheetah with a broken leg, [Bm] tryin' to find himself again
[C]Missin' who he was back then[C6], he [C]isn't who he was back [Cmaj7]then
[Em]Cheetah with a broken heart, [Bm]creature with a dying spark
[C]Starting over at the start [C6], [C]starting is the hardest [C9]part
[Em]Part, [Bm]part
[C] [C6] [C] [Cmaj7] [Em]
