Verse
             G5
My body is a cage
     Eb7M                           G5
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
   Eb7M
My mind holds the key

             G5
My body is a cage
     Eb7M                           G
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
       Eb7M
But my mind holds the key
G5                Bbm
I'm standing on a stage
   G
Of fear and self doubt
       Eb7M
It's a hollow play
            G          Eb7M | G | Eb7M
But they'll clap anyway

Verse
             G5
My body is a cage
     Eb7M                           G5
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
   Eb7M
My mind holds the key

         "My mind holds the key"



Gm                 Bbm
 My mind holds the key
                 G5
I'm living in an age
        Eb7M
That calls darkness light
          G5
Though my language is dead
          Bbm
Still the shapes fill my head

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