My body is a cage

That keeps me from dancing with the one I love

My mind holds the key

       G5G5
My body is a cage
   Eb7M              G+G
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
    Eb7M
But my mind holds the key
G5G5        BbmBbm
I'm standing on a stage
  G+G
Of fear and self doubt
    Eb7M
It's a hollow play
      G+G     Eb7M | G+G | Eb7M
But they'll clap anyway

Verse
       G5G5
My body is a cage
   Eb7M              G5G5
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
  Eb7M
My mind holds the key

     "My mind holds the key"


G minorGm         BbmBbm
 My mind holds the key
         G5G5
I'm living in an age
    Eb7M
That calls darkness light
     G5G5
Though my language is dead
     BbmBbm
Still the shapes fill my head

G/BG/B        BbmBbm
 I'm living in an age
   G+G
Whose name I don't know
      Dmadd4
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
 (bass drum)
(G.P.)
