Album: Neon Bible
Capo 1
[Verse]
F#m
My body is a cage
A/E D
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
F#m
But my mind holds the key
F#m
My body is a cage
A/E D
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
F#m
But my mind holds the key
F#m
I'm standing on the stage
A/E D
Of fear and self-doubt it's a hollow play
F#m
But they'll clap anyway
[Chorus]
F#m
My body is a cage
A/E C#
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
D Bm
But my mind holds the key
D/A Bm
You're standing next to me
D/A Bm
My mind holds the key
[Verse]
F#m
I'm living in an age
A/E
That calls darkness light
D
Though my language is dead
F#m
Still the shapes fill my head
F#m
I'm living in an age
A/E
Whose name I don't know
D
Though the fear keeps me moving
F#m
Still my heart beats so slow
[Chorus]
F#m
My body is a cage
A/E C#
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
D Bm
But my mind holds the key
D/A Bm
You're standing next to me
D/A Bm
My mind holds the key
F#m A/E Bm F#m
My body is a cage
[Instrumental]
F#m A/E Bm F#m
[Verse]
F#m
My body is a cage
A/E
We take what we're given
D
Just because you've forgotten
F#m
Doesn't mean you're forgiven
F#m
I'm living in an age
A/E
Still turning in the night
D
But when I get to the doorway
F#m
There's no one in sight
[Chorus]
F#m
I'm living in an age
A
Realizing I'm dancing
C#
With the one I love
D Bm
But my mind holds the key
D/A Bm
standing next to me
D/A Bm
My mind holds the key
[Outro]
G A
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my mind free
Set my spirit free
