Verse 1:
E minorEm      G+G       A minorAm      C majorC
 Like a bird locked up in a cage called love
E minorEm             G+G        A augmentedA    C majorC
 He clipped her wings when she was born to fly
    E minorEm      G+G       A minorAm
He said, "A pretty bird, you can't sing
         C majorC         E minorEm
But I'll buy you diamonds and ruby rings"
      G+G       A augmentedA    C majorC
Like a bird locked up in a cage

Chorus:
        E minorEm    G+G      A minorAm     C majorC
And how can I escape this place and go higher, higher?

How can I avoid the flames from your fire, fire?
  E minorEm   G+G       A minorAm  C majorC

     C majorC
So birdie fly away


Verse 2:
  E minorEm        G+G        A minorAm    C majorC
I'm tired of getting lost inside this maze all day
E minorEm           G+G       A augmentedA    C majorC
 Your twisted words are getting to my head
   E minorEm        G+G         A minorAm
I say, "And no more glasses and seein' stars
       C majorC          E minorEm
And no more bruises and battle scars"
      G+G       A augmentedA    C majorC
Like a bird locked up in a cage

And how can I escape this place and go higher, higher?
      E minorEm    G+G       A minorAm   C majorC
How can I avoid the flames from your fire, fire?

And oh, you can't hold me down, no
E minorEm   G+G       A minorAm
Oh, you can't pull me down
     C majorC  E minorEm  G+G     A minorAm
So birdie fly away (Higher, higher)
     C majorC  E minorEm  G+G     A minorAm
So birdie fly away (Higher, higher)
     N.C.
So birdie fly away

I ain't your prisoner
     A minorAm      C majorC
You can't lock me up no more
       E minorEm       G+G
I'll show you what I'm worth
        A augmentedA     C majorC
Take back what I deserve
       E minorEm    G+G
I ain'??t your prisoner
     A minorAm        C majorC
You can'??t chain me down no more
       E minorEm     G+G
Goddamn, it's gonna hurt
       B7B7
So fly away, little bird

Set me free, set me free
