[INTRO]
|Em |G |Am |C |
|Em |G |A |C |

[VERSE 1]
[Em] Like a bird [G]locked up in a [Am]cage called lo[C]ve
[Em] He clipped her wings when [G]she was born to [A]fly [C]
He said[Em] , "A pretty bi[G]rd, you can't [Am]sing
But I'll buy you [C]diamonds and ruby [Em]rings"
Like a bird [G]locked up in a [A]cage [C]

[CHORUS]
And how can I es[Em]cape this [G]place and go [Am]higher, hig[C]her?
How can I a[Em]void the f[G]lames from your[Am] fire, f[C]ire?
And [Em]oh, you [G]can't hold me [Am]down, [C]no
[Em]Oh, you [G]can't pull me [Am]down
So birdie [C]fly a[Em]way ([G]Higher, hig[Am]her)
So birdie [C]fly a[Em]way ([G]Higher, hig[Am]her)
So birdie [C]fly away

[VERSE 2]
I'm [Em]tired of getting [G]lost inside this [Am]maze all [C]day
[Em] Your twisted words are [G]getting to my [A]head [C]
I say[Em] , "And no more gla[G]sses and seein' sta[Am]rs
And no more b[C]ruises and battle sca[Em]rs"
Like a bird [G]locked up in a [A]cage [C]

[CHORUS]
And how can I es[Em]cape this [G]place and go [Am]higher, hig[C]her?
How can I a[Em]void the f[G]lames from your[Am] fire, f[C]ire?
And [Em]oh, you [G]can't hold me [Am]down, [C]no
[Em]Oh, you [G]can't pull me [Am]down
So birdie [C]fly a[Em]way ([G]Higher, hig[Am]her)
So birdie [C]fly a[Em]way ([G]Higher, hig[Am]her)
So birdie N.C.
fly away

[BRIDGE]
I ain't your [Em]prisoner [G]
You can't [Am]lock me up no [C]more
I'll show you [Em]what I'm worth [G]
Take back what [A]I deserve [C]
I ain't your [Em]prisoner [G]
You can't [Am]chain me down no [C]more
Goddamn, it's [Em]gonna hurt [G]
So fly away, [B7]little bird

[CHORUS]
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 [Em]oh, you [G]can't hold me [Am]down, [C]no
[Em]Oh, you [G]can't pull me [Am]down
So birdie [C]fly a[Em]way (Oh, oh, o[G]h)
Can you hear me? ([Am]Oh, oh, o[C]h)
Are you listenin'? ([Em]Oh, oh, o[G]h)
Set me f[Am]ree, set me f[C]ree ([Em]Oh, oh, o[G]h)
Can you hear me? ([Am]Oh, oh, o[C]h)
Are you listenin'? ([Em]Oh, oh, o[G]h)
Set me f[Am]ree, set me f[C]ree
