My body is aGm cage
That Bbkeeps me from dancing
With theCm one I love,
But my Dmind holds the key.
My body is aGm cage
That Bbkeeps me from dancing
With theCm one I love,
But my Dmind holds the key.
I’m standing oGmn a stage
Of Bbfear and self-doubt
It’s Cma hollow play,
But they’Dll clap anyway.
My body is aGm cage
That Bbkeeps me from dancing
With theD one I love,
But my D#mind holds the key.
You’rCme standing next to me. D#
My Cmmind holds the key. D#
(The organ gets louder here, so strum the chords in stead of fingerpicking them.)
I’m living inGm an age
That Bbcalls darkness light,
Though myCm landscape is dead
Still the sDhapes fill my head
I’m living iGmn an age
Whose Bbname I don’t know
Though theCm fear keeps me moving,
Still myD heart beats so slow.
My body is aGm cage
That Bbkeeps me from dancing
With the Done I love
But my D#mind holds the key.
You’rCme standing next to me. D#
My Cmmind holds the key. D#

My body is a… (This is where the song emerges out of it's shellMy body is aGm cage.
We Bbtake what we’re given.
Just Cmbecause you’re forgotten,
That don??D?t mean you’re forgiven.
I’m living in Gman age
That Bbscreams my name at night,
But when ICm get to the doorway
There??D?s no one in sight.
I’m living iGmn an age
They Bblaugh and I’m dancing
With theD one I love,
But my D#mind holds the key.
You’rCme standing next to me.D#
My Cmmind holds the key. D#
