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?
           E minorEm        G+G              A minorAm      C majorC
How can I avoid the flames from your fire, fire?
    E minorEm      G+G             A minorAm    C majorC
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)
          C majorC
So birdie fly away

    E minorEm               G+G                A minorAm       C majorC

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?
    E minorEm      G+G             A minorAm    C majorC
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)

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
