Cage The Songbird

(início)

E
A            G
Sober in the morning light
D
Things look so much different
            A      A    E
To how they looked last night
A                         G
A pale face pressed to an unmade bed
     D                            A
Like flags of many nations flying high above her head
A             E
The cellophane still on the flowers
G                         D
The telegram still in her hand
A                 G
As whispers circulate all day
      D                                A
Their back-stage baby princess passed away
            C#m       G#m
And you can cage the songbird
    Bm                  F#m
But you can't make her sing
           C#m       G#m
And you can trap the free bird
           Bm               F#m
But you'll have to clip her wings
              E    E      E7  E     E     E7
`Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies
E          D                  E          A
But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies
G     D    D  A
Ooh!  ooh!
A           G
Promises of no more lies
     D
Fell flat upon an empty stage
           A        E
Before the audience arrived
A                       G
A return in time to the cheaper seats
                    D
She never knew what lay beneath
                           A
Just a dated handbill they found between the sheets
A                   E
Let down before the final curtain
G                             D
A shallow heart that left her cold
A                 G
She left in rouge upon the mirror
          D                    A
A circled kiss to the faithful fans who'd miss her
(Chorus)
A     G     D     A
Ooh!  ooh!  ooh!
