Em Like a bird lGocked up in a Amcage called loCve
Em He clipped her wings when Gshe was born to flAy     C 
He said,Em "A pretty biGrd, you can't sAming
But I'll buy you Cdiamonds and ruby riEmngs"
Like a bird lGocked up in Am cAage   C 



And how can I esEmcape this plGace and go Amhigher, highCer?
How can I aEmvoid the flGames from your Amfire, fiCre?
And Emoh, you Gcan't hold me doAmwn, nCo
EmOh, you Gcan't pull me doAmwn
N.C. Em G Am
So birdie fly away (Higher, higher)
So birdie Cfly awEmay (GHigher, highAmer)
So birdie Cfly away



Em I'm tired of getting Glost inside this Ammaze all dCay
Em Your twisted words are Ggetting to my heAad    C 
I say,Em "And no more glaGsses and seein' staAmrs
And no more brCuises and battle scaEmrs"
Like a bird lGocked up in Am cAage   C 



And how can I esEmcape this plGace and go Amhigher, highCer?
How can I aEmvoid the flGames from your Amfire, fiCre?
And Emoh, you Gcan't hold me doAmwn, nCo
EmOh, you Gcan't pull me doAmwn
N.C. Em G Am
So birdie fly away (Higher, higher)
So birdie Cfly awEmay (GHigher, highAmer)
N.C.
So birdie fly away



I ain't your Emprisoner  G 
You can't Amlock me up no mCore
I'll show you Emwhat I'm worth  G 
Take back what AI deserve  C 
I ain't your Emprisoner  G 
You can't Amchain me down no mCore
Goddamn, it's Emgonna hurt  G 
So fly away, liB7ttle bird



N.C.
And how can I escape this place and go higher, higher?
N.C.
How can I avoid the flames from your fire, fire?
And Emoh, you Gcan't hold me doAmwn, nCo
EmOh, you Gcan't pull me doAmwn
N.C. Em
